Seal Morning

When it was time to go to the library I got on a computer and typed in seal and I got seal morning and as I read it i felt strange things going on inside of me and then when I got to the last chapter I startedto cry for 20 minuts and when I was watching animal planet there were seals on it and all of a suden i could understand them and i think it was the book that hepled me oh and I loved Lora very much and when I can have a pet female seal i will name it Lora but if i get a male i will name it berny and one other thing if you know where Farre Rowena lives then go to www.....com and send me a message my screen name is seal_2 and I love seals.

I loved this book! It gives the reader a wonderful taste of the wilds of Scotland and of "croft life." I like to imagine living like this. Though this book tends to jump around, that makes it more interesting. It is a perfect gift for the animal or nature lover: the descriptions of the landscape and Rowena's relationship with the animals she cares for are beautiful and touching.

I came across Seal Morning many years ago, even then I had it with me for a long time before I read it. I found it by fate, when I was going through old unused lockers in my old school. I didn't know why I kept it but after DEFINITELY more than 2 yrs then was I compelled to read it. It is a book that brought joy & sadness all the same. It appeals to all of us who love animals. The way it was written without any chronological contraint, is refreshing. It comes across as an account, or maybe as a documentation but rarely is it anonymous as there're many poignant moments Rowena shares with us. Her animals were her friends & she was theirs, & in the solitude of the hills this couldn't be more true !!
