Why read it?
1 author picked Last Song of the Whales as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It is a fiction based on facts about whales and about what Four Arrows believes they are trying to tell us regarding the pollution of the Oceans that threatens us all. A whale captures a marine biologist and his encounter, feeling almost biblical but very current, reveals their important message to humanity. In this very dramatic story, you’ll also find an ecological treatise, and a call to action so needed at this time.
From Judith's list on consciousness, dolphins, and wise humans.
