Also I found a way to leave comments on WP blogs, much to my delight :-) I just use my old AOL email address as it's not ever been associated with WP. Problem solved. ✔
Books
Manod Llan lives with her father and young sister on a remote Welsh island. She is a curious young woman and wants more than her sheltered existence provides. What she wants she does not know, she just knows there has to be more to life. The dwindling population make a living fishing, living a very simple life until a whale washes up ashore.
When English ethnographers (I had to look that up) arrive on the island to study the culture and the basic lives of the population, Manod's world is opened up and she is excited. There is much Welsh language in the narrative but the translation is there as you read. Manod is hired to make translations from Welsh to English to the reseachers.
Unfortunately the English researchers are scoundrals, in my opinion, and the book took a turn I did not expect. I suppose if you are looking for imagery the dead whale would represent the dying community on the island. This is a short book and many of the "chapters" are half a page.
