The whales of Bathsheba's pod live for the hunt. Led by the formidable Captain Alexandra, they fight a never-ending war against men.
So it has been, so it shall always be.
Then the whales attack a man ship, and instead of easy prey they find the trail of a myth, a monster, perhaps the devil himself ...
With their relentless Captain leading the chase, they embark on the final hunt, one that will forever change the worlds of whales and men.

I'm a fan of the author so wanted to listen to And The Ocean Was Our Sky. I didn't even read the blurb before I started and it took a few chapters for me to realise Bathsheba was a whale. I really enjoyed this book. It's well-written and engaging. It's pretty dark at times as Bathsheba recounts the exploits for her ferocious Captain and the Captain's obsession with hunting a devil from her past puts the whole pod in danger. I'd recommend this.
