An eco-fiction thriller with the theme of the world in crisis because of climate change, but told without preaching. Set on the remote island of, Shearwater, between Australia and Antarctica—is a research station where scientists have been studying environmental change. The island is receding and will soon disappear. Researchers have left and Dominic, the island’s caretaker and his three kids will be picked up on a second ship. A woman, Rowan, washes ashore unconscious. Why is this woman anywhere near Shearwater, Dominic is wondering and why is the family here alone, Rowan is wondering, after she has come around. Suspicions grow, dark secrets come to light, and the impossible choices we make to protect those we love, are all in this adventurous dark medium-paced read.

I enjoy Charlotte McConaghy’s beautifully written works and her story telling of the challenges of protecting the environment. I liked her previous books, Migrations, and Once There Were Wolves.
