Eye of the Whale, the new novel by Douglas Abrams, is a thriller that tugs at your heart strings. It puts tears in your eyes and whale songs in your head. Set in our current time of ecological turmoil you not only feel for these beautiful creatures, but learn more about the whales connection to us and our world.
Throughout the book I was on edge wondering what would happen with the intertwining fates of scientist Elizabeth McKay and her whales. A highlight of Elizabeth's journey being her navigation through her near death situation and her strained circumstances with her professor. With her journey we see a glimpse into what our future might hold, and what consequences our actions on the planet and it's inhabitants might be.
Though Eye of the Whale is a fact-based novel it is not a textbook. Abrams writes with just enough detail and fact so as to say you learned something. Along with a suspenseful plot that keeps the pages turning.
Eye of the Whale is a thriller written with a heart and an education and is a wonderful read that you won't be able to put down.
