I've picked this up a few times but it has never quite stuck. I was always a little uncertain about the time frame and the character and what was actually happening, until I discovered that the book was speculative fiction and with the colder months upon us I was in for a wintery read and a boat headed through the Antarctic.
What is starkly obvious about this story is the warning/predictions of over fishing that David Attenborough reveals in 'A Life on Our Planet'. If you have read his work 'The Last Migration' explores this idea through speculative fiction, a new genre that I am slowly beginning to read more of.
I absolutely devoured this read, not only was the plot heavily driven by character but there was exploration of much deeper issues including the meaning of life, life after death, global warming, generational ties and family loss. Although the heart-wrenching ending was beautifully done, just the right amount of warning of what was to come, there just wasn't enough closure for each of the key characters.
