Title: Songs of the Humpback Whale
Product review: This book was written in 1992 and was reissued after the author had other successful books. I found the book to be confusing, trite, thin story line, and mostly predictable. I can see why the book didn't sell well when it was first written. The story is about a man whose whole life is the study of humpback whales while ignoring his wife and daughter. His wife and daughter leave him and drive across the country to stay with a brother. The story relates the sad childhood of the wife and her brother. While away the wife falls in love with an apple farmer, the daughter falls in love with the farmer's helper, and the husband finds them with the brother. Daughter's boyfriend falls and dies and a sad ending for all. Not recommended.
