Über diesen Titel

From Mexico to the Arctic ice, grey whale mothers swim with their calves. Following them, by bus, train and ferry, are Doreen and her toddler Max, in pursuit of a wild hope. Doreen first visited Alaska as a young journalist reporting on climate change among indigenous whaling communities. There, drawn deeply into an Iñupiaq family, she joined the bowhead whale hunt, watching for polar bears under the never-ending light. Years later, now a single mother living in a hostel, Doreen embarks on this extraordinary journey: following the grey whale migration back to the Arctic, where greys and bowheads meet at the melting apex of our planet.

This is a special one. I loved listening to this story of a mother and her son following the migration of the gray whales. The narration is captivating and beautifully read. I was especially immersed in the author's accounts of her stay in the Arctic, and impressed by how she weaves together personal hardships with global environmental and social disaster, past, present and future.

Captivating and heartfelt tale
