Review:
'John David Morley almost died in order to write this book, and the palpable authenticity of the experiences recounted within its pages renders it extraordinarily potent... A stunning and unique work.' GUARDIAN (5/8/06) 'The novel's account of the community's rituals, routines and age-old whaling skills definitely gets its hooks into you.' SUNDAY TIMES (6/8/06) 'John David Morley's captivating and obviously very thoroughly researched novel... The measured and subtle novel climaxes spectacularly in a whale hunt.' 4 stars INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY (27/8/06)
