Happy reading to my five competition winners, who will each be receiving soon a copy of Doreen Cunningham’s Soundings: Journeys in the Company of Whales. The five are: Jean Barclay, Jayson Carcione, Jasmine Donahaye, Steve Hill and Amelia Hodsdon. 

  Thanks again to the publisher, Virago, for putting up the prize, and to all those who retweeted my posts about it. And thanks, of course, to Doreen Cunningham for a wonderful book; you can still read an extract here on Deskbound Traveller.
