I read slowly because I didn't want the story of the Rathbone family to end. Mercy Rathbone and her cousin Mordecai go on a sea journey reminiscent of Homer's Odyssey to uncover the secrets of their old whaling family and find out what became of Mercy's father and brother. Elements of mythology and magical realism as well as a sea adventure and coming-of-age story. Especially delightful for those of us who live in the Noank area and for me in particular as my sister is the author.
