I was so skeptical, because I hate dolphins and it sounded so stupid but OH MY GOD THIS BOOK IS INCREDIBLE. The way it explores culture and spirituality and tradition based (somewhat) on the known behaviors of sea life is outstanding. It is beautiful and tragic and captivating. It’s so weird but wholly immersive if you let it take you.
