Reviewer’s Name: Sandy Shearer Reviewer’s Occupation: Retired Book Title: Wild Dark Shore Book’s Author: Charlotte McConaghy This book has everything due to the author's brilliant writing and research complex, well-developed characters, rich scenery and a thrilling storyline. Dominic Salt and his family of 4 and a mysterious stranger are living on a remote island named Shearwater where the closest land is Antarctica. The island was once a lexicon of world seeds, researchers and the seed vault for the world. (There is a real seed vault on the Norwegian Island of Spitsbergen.) While learning about flora, fauna, animals on the island and the creatures of the sea, one is kept turning the pages because of all the twists and turns. If you are mildly interested in our planet and climate change, you will enjoy this novel. (On Amazon's Best Books of the Year for 2025.)
