I chose The Music of the Deep because the author ‘Elizabeth Hall’ grabbed my attention (and I read her work Miramont’s Ghost last year). Elizabeth is my middle name and Hall is my maiden name…I answered to ‘Elizabeth Hall” for over 30 years….no I am not the author….I like seeing my name on the cover.
The narratives on domestic violence as well as marine biology research of orca whales are both VERY well done! This small Pacific Northwest community has a circle of friends whose love of spinning and knitting created a safe place for Alexandra.
Toward the end of the book the narrative on the character “Robin” seemed misplaced. My opinion: It would have been better as a sequel.
I recommend this book.

I would not read this book but you make it seem so appealing if I were a reader would read it. If Pam or you read it yo me I would listen . years ago before we went yo bed Pam would read all sort of things to me.
You had me at the knitting and spinning part. I’ll have to check it out.
