Book description
The salt-stained air of Coney Island hangs thick in your ears as Venessa Vida Kelley's When the Tides Held the Moon unfolds in audiobook form. You don't just hear Benny Caldera's story-you feel the grit of 1910s Brooklyn beneath your feet, smell the brine and grease of Luna Park, and hear the cold iron of the tank that cages Río, the merman. This isn't a fairytale; it's a slow, dread-filled pull toward the depths.
Benny, a Boricua blacksmith who knows his hands belong to iron, not art, stumbles into a world where the sideshow isn't just spectacle-it's a secret. The tank he forged? It holds Río, stolen from the East River's murky embrace. Their connection isn't born of myth, but of shared loneliness: Río's quiet wisdom, Benny's desperate need to be seen. The prose, rich and deliberate in audio, lingers on the weight of a gaze, the tremor in a voice refusing to break. You hear the unspoken ache in every word they share, the way the river's pull echoes in their silence.
But love here is a trap. Freedom means shattering the only home Benny's ever known-the circus, the found family, Río himself. The tension isn't in shouts; it's in the space between sentences, the way the narrator's voice drops when Benny realizes Río's captivity isn't just physical. You feel the ocean's cold current shifting beneath the carnival lights, the inevitability of a choice that could drown them both.
What makes this audiobook haunting is how it uses sound to deepen the mystery. The whisper of water, the distant call of a whistle, the creak of the tank-all become part of the story's heartbeat. Kelley doesn't just tell you about the East River's grip; you hear it in the narrator's cadence, a low thrum beneath the words. The ending isn't a release-it's a reckoning, and the audio delivery makes it linger like a bruise.
This isn't escapism. It's a slow, soul-deep immersion into a love that demands everything, even as the tides pull you under. You won't just hear this story; you'll carry its weight long after the final note fades.
