What a find this is for an author looking for a good story. I would have run with this had I come across it. As would you. The story calls attention to itself and begs to be told.

Elmhirst gets into the bones of all the human personalities, as a complete aside to the astonishing survival story she tells. It basically reads like Life of Pi, but Richard Parker is a human husband.

There is only one minor flaw, that can easily be corrected, with no editing staff necessary: maps, please!
