Just had a nice review of the book on HuffPost!

I use a quote from the film The Whale in my introduction to my book, and on my “About” page on this blog. The quote—and the film—call our attention to the often unrecognized animal sentience and intelligence that surrounds us.

The film tells the true story of “a young, wild killer whale—an orca—nicknamed Luna, who lost contact with his family on the coast of British Columbia and turned up alone in a narrow stretch of sea between mountains, a place called Nootka Sound. . . Orcas are social. They live with their families all their lives. An orca who gets separated usually just fades away and dies. Luna was alone, but he didn’t fade away. There weren’t any familiar orcas in Nootka Sound, but there were people, in boats and on the shore. So he started trying to make contact.”
