"By...Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks<br /><br />"By the time we reached the cliffs, the whale had indeed beached herself. She was huge, glistening, luminous, a pregnant shape that the surf pulled this way and that, as if she still had vigor and was not already doomed."<br /><br />"'One poor man, I thought to help him as he lay in his dreadful discomfort, so i attempted to lift him...' Tilman's voice quavered and fell so low we could barely hear him. 'I did not see that his poor broken skin had cleaved to the mat he lay upon, and a whole side of him flayed off as I turned him.'"<br /><br />(Yikes - I got a couple of graphic random selections! The whole book isn't quite like this!)Susanna Leonard Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655630528649780363noreply@blogger.com
