![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I really enjoyed this book. Abi Curtis writes well and I was invested in the main character, her past and where the story would take her. ![]() ![]() At some time in the future the oceans start to encroach on land due to melting of the ice caps. Every year people have to move away from the coastlines but otherwise life continues. People go to school, go to work, get married, even travel to some of the places that have already been drowned. Nerissa is a veterinarian and her skills in looking after the remaining animals are valued. So she gets an invitation to join the Baleen a combination ship/submarine which is planning to set sail before a final cataclysmic flood come. Baleen has an assortment of animals from elephants to one woolly rat from South America. Nerissa and her assistant Herman look after the animals while other places on the ship there is a garden, a shopping centre, a laundry, a hair salon, a kitchen, a social centre--all the amenities in short. Nerissa doesn't go out much but when the woolly rat, Molloy, goes missing she has to start exploring. And what she finds has her questioning the whole project. It's pretty obvious that this book is based upon the Noah's Ark story in the Bible but I think there are also echoes of Moby Dick and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. It is very cleverly done and also beautifully written. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In the lower depths of a massive submarine, ship's zoologist Nerissa Crane takes an ultrasound of a heavily pregnant Asian elephant. The elephant conceived off-ship but, it transpires, was forced on board - along with Nerissa and a hastily assembled collection of humans and animals - by an apocalyptic environmental disaster that has flooded the earth. Nerissa is calm and solitary in her work and in navigating the trauma of her husband's presumed death in the floods; but when oneof her animal charges escapes, she is reluctantly forced to enter the ship's thrown-together communal world where she uncovers a shocking conspiracy that causes her to question who and what she is.
