Book review - The Dolphin People
September 25th, 2008
Sarah Clarke of The Torbay Bookshop reviews the latest releases.
The Dolphin People by Torsten Krol is a fantastic adventure story set against the backdrop of a jungle village deep in the heart of Amazonas. It’s 1946 with emotions running high after the end of the Second World War when a German family crash lands and are rescued by the natives. The narrator, Erich, a 16-year-old boy, begins to realise that his Uncle Klaus, a former SS officer, may not be the noble figure he thought he once was and by the time he finally escapes his whole life and values have been completely overturned.
The Dolphin People, Torsten Krol, Atlantic Books, £12.99, 9781843545774
