<p><strong>¿Schulman delivers the known world in startling new sounds, colours, tastes and smells.¿¿<em>New York Times Sunday Book Review</em></strong></p><p>It is 1965 and Cora, a deaf young woman, buys a one-way ticket to the island of St Thomas, where she discovers four dolphins held in captivity, part of an experiment led by an obsessive Dr Bloom. Drawn by a strong connection to the dolphins, untrained Cora falls in with the scientists to protect the animals.</p><p>Recognising Cora''s knack for communication, Bloom uses her for what will turn into one of the most fascinating experiments in modern science: an attempt to teach the dolphins human language.</p><p>As the experiment progresses, Cora forges a remarkable bond with the creatures that leads to a clash with the male-dominated world of science, threatening to engulf the experiment as Cora¿s fight to save the dolphins becomes a battle to save herself.</p><p>For fans of <em>Lessons in Chemistry</em> by Bonnie Garmus.</p>
