pickHistorical fiction of a deaf woman who lived with a male dolphin during a research project on the brains of such animals. Also is a sexist time period. No SA, but close calls. Very emotional times through how the scientist works inhumanely on the 4 dolphins. I loved how human language was portrayed to a non-hearer. Very is well explained, with faded letters missed and lip reading.
Glad I read it before the author visits in a few weeks.
Op shopping in Byron Bay was an experience. This 1 was more boutique then second hand shop. Got the black vintage piece, the 2 on the right still had tags on them and everything was reasonably priced which is unusual for op shops nowadays. The family went to a brewery for lunch before hand and there was no wine option believe it or not! So I had one seltzer and left to shop. Afterwards I met my sister and brother in law for a cheeky gin or three.
Well, finally got Covid and am in isolation for a few days. So reading it is. #isolationreadathon
So excited to read The Dolphin House and A Sisters store two literary novels both up for awards both published by the phenomenal Europa editions.
