Critics Review

Laline Paull succeeds splendidly in rising to the most important literary challenge of our time - restoring voice and agency to other-than-human beings * Amitav Ghosh *
A pacy, provocative tale of survival in a fast-changing marine landscape * Daily Mail *
Extraordinary…A haunting story * Red magazine *
One for those intrigued by Cli-Fi … [a] terrifying novel * Cosmo, ‘Best new good books to read’ *
Thought provoking…The dramas of the ocean are played out in a perfectly compiled plot and, as you’d expect, the beauty of the underwater is vividly and sensitively written. It’s another conversation starter * Belfast Telegraph *
What an extraordinary empathetic tale of life beneath the waves that spoke deeply to my salty heart … an absolutely essential read of an almost “psychedelic shaman” perspective of our underwater cousins * Ed Gillespie, author of Only Planet *
Any Laline Paull book release is something to get excited about. I love her work. Truly a distinctive force * Irenosen Okojie, author of Nudibranch *
Propulsive and pertinent… at once beautiful and terrifying, Paull captures the complexity of the dolphin pod dynamics, themes of family and belonging, and an eye-opening perspective of humanity’s huge influence on the lives of sea creatures * Bridge Bookshop *
Keep an eye out for Pod … [a] brilliant new novel, set amongst a dolphin community * The Bookanista *
Knocked my socks off … it is set entirely in the ocean. It’s not science fiction. It’s realistic. It’s set in the here and now … And it’s fascinating * Barbara Kingsolver in the New York Times *
