'This novel is a work of a singularly outlandish and compassionate imagination...its real delight is the continual ability to conjure up scenes that linger in the mind far longer than they did on the page... has one shouting its praises to anybody who is within earshot' New Statesman
Stevie Stanford, recently widowed, must tell her family the truth - but the past is complicated and difficult to untangle. Meanwhile Michael's memories are squashed into a shoebox (along with Queen Mathilda's Dicken Medal for Bravery - for pigeons) ready for his move to hospital. Michael has never been good at putting things into words; he's more comfortable with the click of Morse code. But Anna, a young healthcare assistant, has the patience - and rare tenderness - to eke out his story. And so he begins.
Heartbreaking and life-affirming, funny and deeply moving, this is the unforgettable story of Stevie and Michael - ordinary lovers torn apart by the extraordinary events of war.
'A deeply affecting story of thwarted circumstances and belated wisdom ... Rooney confidently moves between two narrators and shifting times, vividly recreating Blitz-torn London and the Africa of the same period' Guardian
'Jennie Rooney is a talent, and reading Inside the Whale I felt such delight in recognising someone of real worth and promise. Her writing is sharp and taut... I can't wait for her next novel' Margaret Forster
