Changes

''Sea of Whispers'' has a mystery to solve, a dangerous adventure to experience vicariously, a strong and engaging central character, some fantastic dialogue, a vivid naturalistic setting, an edge of the supernatural, and relevant themes of difference and prejudice. Honestly. If there's more you want, I'll despair of you. Highly recommended.

Another wonderful, wonderful book involving a remote community living with the power of the sea is Margo Lanagan's selkie story, [[The Brides of Rollrock Island by Margo Lanagan|The Brides of Rollrock Island]].
