Description
“Deeply ecological, original, and spellbinding... [A] hauntingly beautiful novel of the hidden dimensions of life.” —Booklist, starred review
Raised in a remote seaside village, Thomas Witka Just marries Ruth, whom he has loved since infancy. But an ill-fated decision to fight in Vietnam changes his life forever. Cut off from his Native American community, he fathers a child with another woman. When he returns home a hero, he finds his tribe in conflict over the decision to hunt a whale, both a symbol of spirituality and rebirth and a means of survival. Meanwhile, Lin, his daughter, searches for the man she remembers from her childhood and, in America, finds someone greatly changed. Thomas tries to reconcile his two lives, only to see tragedy befall the family he left behind so many years ago.
