DESCRIPTION
A Taiwanese Life of Pi. On the island of Wayo Wayo, every second son must leave on the day he turns fifteen as a sacrifice to the Sea God. Atile'i is one such boy, but as the strongest swimmer and best sailor, he is determined to defy destiny and become the first to survive. Alice Shih, who has lost her husband and son in a climbing accident, is quietly preparing to commit suicide in her house by the sea. But her plan is interrupted when a vast trash vortex comes crashing onto the shore of Taiwan, bringing Atile'i with it. In the aftermath of the catastrophe, Atile'i and Alice retrace her late husband's footsteps into the mountains, hoping to solve the mystery of her son's disappearance. On their journey, memories will be challenged, an unusual bond formed, and a dark secret uncovered that will force Alice to question everything she thought she knew.

4.5
This may not be a book for everyone, but it certainly resonated with me. The writing is beautiful, lyrical at times. Detail, descriptions of the environment and its inhabitants - not only humans but trees, animals, etc.- bring you visually into the story and excite the imagination.. Characters are interesting for the most part but it is the trash vortex which was the star of the book for me. I believe it would help readers to list the characters as they appear as well as other information such as the aboriginal designations.. I did check back from time to time. I also went beyond the book and researched all sorts of information that had interested me during the read. A must for environmentalists.A
