Listened to this on audio
I only listen to audio stories. Got this from the library. Couldnt get into the story at all. I don't have problems with whaling stories and or killing whales in the old days for a living. read Secret of the Sea by Jessica Blair (sad about the whale killing, men dying while trying to kill whales but what an incredible story and then a love story a must read 5 stars)
