'Many of the stories in this edition of Riptide are concerned with family life, intergenerational relationships, with life and culture beyond the here and now. There are stories about the fragility of mental health reflecting the catastrophic events of the last two years and stories of love and kindnesses that give us hope in an almost unrecognisable landscape.’ – Kit de Waal
