The classic tale of Moby Dick is about one man’s search for the elusive white whale called Moby Dick and this story does a good job of sort of re-telling the original but from the point of view of the whales who are hunted by the humans.
The book is a heavy hardback with thick glossy pages of text and among them are pages and double page images of the story which really are beautiful and make the story all the more interesting to read. But when the captain of her pod receives a special message, they begin a very special hunt for a legendary creature. Bathsheba, a whale, travels with her pod, as they hunt. ‘And the Ocean Was Our Sky’ is a wonderful new spin on the classic novel of ‘Moby Dick’ but you don’t need to have read the classic to enjoy this story. Review: Wow, this book! I couldn’t wait to read this book after seeing the cover and the description and it wasn’t a disappointment. *Free copy provided by publisher for review… With their relentless Captain leading the chase, they embark on the final hunt, one that will forever change the worlds of whales and men.įrom the multi-award-winning autor of A Monster Calls and the Chaos Walking trilogy comes a haunting tale of power and obsession that turns the story of Moby Dick upside down. Then the whales attack a man ship, and instead of easy prey they find the trail of a myth, a monster, perhaps the devil himself…
Led by the frimidable Captain Alexandra, they fight a never-ending war against men. The whales of Bathsheba’s pod live for the hunt.
