The Bay of Whales is not a small book, funny, category "read soon, soon forgotten." Rather, it is a serious book, profound and moving wildly. Jojo Moyes moved us into an enchanting place, away from the world and its frenzy. Silver Bay is a bubble out of the world, which is in sync with whales, other history of heroines. Without making his book an environmentalist manifesto, the author still manages to make us aware of the fragility of the oceans and the need to safeguard the Dagir. Silver Bay, this is a small-knit community, which still holds good where everyone knows and respects. We sattache quickly to the characters and we have the passion to see them happy, to see extricate themselves despite the trials. Kathleen, the mainstay of Silver Bay, which overflows despite his 76 years of energy and has a very strong character, through Greg, Captain a bit adrift but with a heart or Hannah, adorable little girl of eleven whose sometimes hiding a smile dismay. But above all, there is Liza and its secrets. We know only little about her and yet she lives throughout the novel. She is beautiful, bright but profoundly sad. She goes through life without really living it, saccrochant for his daughter and struggling with painful memories. She souvre and gradually sadoucit in contact with Mike. Between the two, this is beautiful, magical and touching. The entire novel is dailleurs well: full of grace and demotion, fragile, rare and beautiful. To this remarkable sajoute the writing Jojo Moyes: fluid, incisive and visual, which takes guts and we retain the history of voluntary prisoners.
Jai cried more than once, I was so completely embedded in the story, I was living, I felt completely overwhelmed. A wonderful discovery!
