The author is a huge fan of Alan Bennett's work, having studied Talking Heads at A-level. All the characters in Against the Tide are fictitious, reflecting individuals who see situations very differently to mainstream society; and who, due to circumstances, feel isolated and somewhat estranged even from those around them.

Although light hearted, some of the characters lead quite sad existences.
