Absolutely marvellous!
Oh my what a treasure of a book. I was so engrossed by the story and its setting I felt the sea salt on my lips and sea breeze in my hair. Absolutely enchanting story and characters. Sad and beautiful. Powerful and moving. Coupled with a brilliant narration by Caroline Lee it's a book not to be missed if you want something deep and meaningful.

Like watching paint dry!! = don't bother
Caroline Lee was the only thing about this book that I liked and the only reason I kept going with it. I was waiting for it to get better but sadly, it didn't.
I frequently had to rewind as I drifted off and lost concentration. The characters were boring and nothing happened, there didn't
seem to be a plot to the story.
I heaved a big sigh of relief when it finished.

Brilliant!
Beautifully written ... the story, the absorbing way one gets swept into the scene, the personalities ... even the ocean and the creatures had personalities and were part of the complexities and completeness. Spun with the same cleverness as Tim Winton. And of course the faultless craft of Caroline Lee brings it all to life. Bravo both of you!
