It modernizes my father’s sense of complexity in a similar island context on the edge of civilization where the simple beauty of waterfolk and their sea are now challenged by globalization.

Each chapter blends romance, adventure and reality into a unique story that is authentic and genuine.

Like many of my grandfather’s great works, this novel and its delightful characters stand for something and do so with the courage to make that something count.

I recommend it to any passionate individual who wants to explore the multidimensional connections between cultures, animals, and the ocean around them. I hope that all readers may find the same grace and courage that I found in What We Were Making.
