Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name

<div>&ldquo;This enigmatic tale of adolescent friendship . . . is smart, sly, and as knowing about the mind and heart of a teenage girl as an Elena Ferrante novel.&rdquo; &mdash;O, The Oprah Magazine &ldquo;One of the best novels about girlhood and female friendship I&rsquo;ve ever read.&rdquo; &mdash;Mary Beth Keane, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes &ldquo;A tough and exquisite sliver of a short novel whose world I want to remain lost in. . . . [A] spectacular narrator . . . [A] wonder of a novel.&rdquo; &mdash;Maureen Corrigan, NPR&rsquo;s Fresh Air Teenager Eulabee and her best friend, Maria Fabiola, own the streets of Sea Cliff, their San Francisco neighborhood. They know Sea Cliff&rsquo;s homes and beaches, its hidden corners and eccentric characters. One day, walking to school with friends, they witness a horrible act&mdash;or do they? Eulabee and Maria Fabiola disagree on what happened, and their rupture is followed by Maria Fabiola&rsquo;s sudden disappearance&mdash;a potential kidnapping that shakes the community and threatens to expose unspoken truths. Set in pre-tech boom San Francisco, a city on the brink of radical transformation, and told with a gimlet eye and great warmth, We Run the Tides is both a gripping mystery and a tribute to the wonders of youth. &ldquo;The affectionate specificity of the portrait [Vida] offers is one of the book&rsquo;s real pleasures.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Detailed and vibrant.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Review of Books &ldquo;Smart, perceptive, elegant, sad, surprising and addictive.&rdquo; &mdash;Nick Hornby, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of About a Boy &ldquo;There&rsquo;s something naughty, almost gleeful about this nostalgia-soaked portrayal of pre-tech-boom San Francisco that keeps the pages turning.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Chronicle</div>
