Way of the Whale by Linda Peters
Here’s a book review with guest Update contributor Shannon Dean…
Way of the Whale is a new book by author Linda Peters and it is written from the point of view of an orca.
On the surface, it’s about an older “rogue” Orca in captivity who has only one night to share some wisdom with a newly captive younger Orca who is in an adjacent holding tank. In an effort to comfort and reassure him, the older orca shares stories and insights from his life.
At 136 pages, and with most chapters only 2 pages in length, it could be read cover to cover in one sitting.
It is an easily digestible story with a lot of undertones of life lessons that can equally be adopted into our own lives. Within the first few chapters, most people will identify with the baby orca. The author’s writing enveloped me and I felt very peaceful, soothed, calm and nurtured. Although there are adult themes , most of the book is appropriate for all ages and could open up some insightful discussions.
