Soundings: Journeys in the Company of Whales: A Memoir by Doreen Cunningham

2.25

This was described to me as a book about whales but it turned out to be more a book about the author and her toddler, and the varying ways they were accommodated by others. I found myself sympathizing with the retirees grumpily nonplussed by the presence of an unexpected small child -- I too expected and would have preferred an experience dominated by whales and unalloyed by the many needs and demands of two-year-olds.
