Beschreibung
In 1938, the sea washes a dead whale ashore on a remote Welsh island. For Manod, who has lived here her entire life, it is a sign of doom, but also a symbol of an unknown world. She cannot suppress her desire to discover life beyond the borders of her beautiful yet ruthlessly harsh island home, where her family has survived for generations. The arrival of two English ethnographers, who want to study the local culture, is a gift for her – it offers her a glimpse into life outside the community and a possible path to escape. The longer the ethnographers stay, the more she is drawn to them… The Whale's Fall tells the story of what happens when one person's ambition threatens the cohesion of a community – and what can follow when those ambitions are fulfilled. It is about a woman on the brink of change, forced to confront a world that is increasingly pressing upon her. If you enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing, this book is for you.
