Big-hearted, brave, and fearlessly honest, Soundings is an unforgettable journey..
It is also a riveting journey onto the Arctic Sea ice and into the changing world of Indigenous whale hunters, where Doreen becomes immersed in the ancient values of the Iñupiaq whale hunt and falls in love.
A story of courage and resilience, Soundings is about the migrating whales and all we can learn from them as they mother, adapt, and endure, their lives interrupted and threatened by global warming.
In this striking, brave[, ] and often lyrical ( The Guardian ) blend of nature writing, whale science, and memoir, Doreen Cunningham interweaves two stories: tracking the extraordinary northward migration of the grey whales with a mischievous toddler in tow and living with an Iñupiaq family in Alaska seven years earlier. --Susan Orlean, author of On Animals and The Library Book In this lyrical Memoir of motherhood, love, and resilience that captures rarely observed natural places ( San Francisco Chronicle ) a woman and her toddler son follow the grey whale migration from Mexico to northernmost Alaska.
