About this book

An astonishing and immersive new novel, Pod takes the reader into the depths of the ocean—and into the world of its fascinating inhabitants—through the eyes of the beautiful Ea, a spinner dolphin. LalinePaull returns with an immersive and transformative new novel of an ocean world—itsextraordinary creatures, mysteries, and mythologies—that is increasinglyhaunted by the cruelty and ignorance of the human race.Eahas always felt like an outsider. As a spinner dolphin who has recently come ofage, she's now expected to joinin the elaborate rituals that unite her pod.But Ea suffers from a type of deafness that prevents her from masteringthe artof spinning. When catastrophe befalls her family and Ea knows she is partly toblame, she decides to makethe ultimate sacrifice and leave the pod.AsEa ventures into the vast, she discovers dangers everywhere, from lurkingpredators to strange objects floatingin the water. Not to mention the oceanitself seems to be changing; creatures are mutating, demonic noises piercethedepths, whole species of fish disappear into the sky above. Just as she iscoming to terms with her solitude, achance encounter with a group of arrogantbottlenoses will irrevocably alter the course of her life.Inher terrifying, propulsive novel, Laline Paull explores the true meaning offamily, belonging, sacrifice—theharmony and tragedy of the pod—within an oceanthat is no longer the sanctuary it once was, and which reflects aworld all toorecognizable to our own.
