Ecological tragedy as told from the perspective of dolphins. It sounds trite but it's genuinely incredible.
The delicate rituals and sociopolitics of different dolphin pods is marred by the horrors of ecological disaster, military action, and test bombings.
First The Overstory and now this... Reading a lot of literary eco-fiction this year! This one's another from the Women's Prize for Fiction shortlist. If you like Blue Planet, try this one on for size.
