Narration To Books A Drop in the Ocean

On her 49th birthday, Anna Fergusson, Boston neuroscientist and dedicated introvert, arrives at an unwanted crossroads when the funding for her research lab is cut. With her confidence shattered and her future uncertain, on impulse she rents a cabin for a year on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. However Turtle Island, alive with sea birds and nesting Green turtles, is not the retreat she expected. Here she finds love for the eccentric islanders who become her family; for Tom, the laid-back turtle whisperer; and for the turtles whose ancient mothering instincts move her to tears. But Anna finds that even on her idyllic drop in the ocean there is pain, and as the months fly past her dream for a new life is threatened by a darkness that challenges everything she has come to believe about the power of love. Evocative and thought-provoking, A Drop in the Ocean is a story about second chances and hard lessons learned in the gentlest of ways."

Criticize Based On Books A Drop in the Ocean

Book covers can be so hit and miss, but every so often one comes along that is so attractive you find yourself eagerly hoping that its a book that youre going to love. And this one did not disappoint.I started seeing this book mentioned on Goodreads and Twitter and when Jenni commented on one of my blog posts I visited her website and spent an evening looking at the pictures, reading her newsletters, learning a little about this remarkable woman who grew up in the South Island, New Zealand,

I was generous with the 2-star rating. This book touches on interesting subject matters, such as turtles and Huntington's disease, but that was as far as my interest went. I skimmed through many pages of mundane information, and those I read were filled with the same. It read like the main character writing journal entries, except every detail of what she made for breakfast, or wore, or what she was feeling at any given time went on for several pages. It bogged it down.A 'telling' story of

I liked the story, I just was not a fan of the writing.

I really enjoyed this book. A good read that makes you want to visit the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.I also love to read about other places and topics that I know nothing about. This book does both of these.After losing her grant money fore research into Huntington's Disease Anna gets a temporary job on a small isolated island in the Great Barrier Reef. This island is a nesting ground for sea turtles. Anna meets Tom. Tom is called the turtle whisper and learns all about sea turtles from Tom.

At fifty years old Anna Fergusson, a medical researcher of Huntington's Disease has had the rug pulled out from under her feet.

Faced with indecision she decides to take a 12 month contract to live and look after a camp ground on Turtle Island off the Australian Barrier Reef. Coming from USA this is a life major change.I really enjoyed this novel of Anna, it's like a coming of age novel with a mature

I was fortunate enough to read an advanced copy of this compelling novel about turtles, the fragility of life, and the complexity of love. Every night I was reading A Drop in the Ocean, I found myself transported to a remote island on the Great Barrier Reef, a place I wanted to stay. Jenni Ogden has a gift for describing the natural world. I read this novel slowly, savoring the setting as much as the storyline. Talking of whichso much in here for book clubs to discuss!

I loved this book, it was such a pleasurable read. This author, a neuro-psychologist, is obviously quite knowledgeable about the central issues of her novel, Huntingtons Disease, and marine turtle conservation, both of which are given greater supportive detail at the end of the book. Anna Ferguson, a neuroscientist, has spent her career on researching treatment for Huntington's Disease. After losing funding to support her lab's on-going existence, she takes a job as keeper of a campground on an
