Description
In 1960, David, a young biologist researching in the Scottish Islands, encounters a Blue Whale - Tisala. This chance meeting sparks a breakthrough in communication, leading to an extraordinary encounter between two worlds. As the whale's story unfolds, it becomes clear that Tisala is on a mission to save its dwindling kind from extinction. Against the backdrop of 20th-century history, including the cruel slaughter of whales and the struggle to stop it, David finds himself entangled in a web of love, passion, and friendship. Through Tisala's eyes, Richard Seward Newton explores the great issues facing humanity, from war and religion to education and ethics. This philosophical and satirical novel is an astonishing voyage of exploration, seeking to distil knowledge and wisdom that might lead to a happier world.
