Debbi's Reviews > Blueback

Lovely fable about love, belonging and the power of a place. There are few books that appeal to all ages, I think this is one. Abel and his mother live in a remote coastal area in Australia. The boy discovers and cultivates a relationship with a giant Grouper he names Blueback. Years pass and the long term friendhip becomes instrumental in creating Abel's identity. The descriptions of the sea and the place are exquisite. I look forward to reading more of this author's work.
