Photo / Lili Peper By: Kiran Dass Vendela Vida is beaming in by Zoom from a hot tub in San Francisco. Well, it s her office, which was formerly a hot tub.

Her new book, We Run the Tides, brings you straight into the Sea Cliff Neighborhood and San Francisco in the mid-1980’s. It’s an entrancing read. Vida portrays a much more carefree San Francisco. It was a time without cell phones and social media. The books heroine reflects that time, but themes of friendship, first crushes, adolescence trails, and bullying relates to today.

Vida’s tone is lighter, sometimes tender, in her sixth novel. ....
