The Crossing of Ingo Reviews

The most action-packed and satisfying of the four stories, with vivid animal portraits, a vast undersea journey and a climactic fight. Ingo will be missed. The Times

The Crossing of Ingo is just as beautiful as the first three books in this wonderful quartet. These are books that will be read for generations. They have everything - family dynamics, the nature of love, coming of age, resolution of conflict, world as entity, not resource. And they are written with great beauty, but more than that, they are written with an unmistakeable voice and a love of words. The Book Bag

Praise for The Deep

Dunmore's writing, steeped in maritime legends, is exquisite. The descriptions of plunging 'sleek and fast as a seal' through turquoise water into the rich blue-purple that lies beneath are gorgeous.. The Deep is sophisticated and supple. The Daily Telegraph

Dunmore's series is written in a sensual, descriptive prose that evokes the watery kingdom with conviction. Characters are clear-cut and written with exuberance. Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times Culture

Just as spellbinding as its predecessors. Waterstone's Books Quarterly

Praise for The Tide Knot:

Intensely compelling... gorgeous. Amanda Craig, The Times

Dunmore's graceful style is what makes the unbelievable believable... The Independent on Sunday

Like the ocean itself, this book is deep and strange and marvellous. Nial MacMonagle, The Irish Times

Praise for Ingo:

Ingo has a haunting, dangerous beauty all of its own. Philip Ardagh, Guardian

The electric thrill of swimming with dolphins, of racing along currents, and of leaving the world of reason and caution behind are described with glorious intensity. Amanda Craig, The Times

Compellingly lyrical. Independent

Helen Dunmore may have a few drowned readers on her conscience, so enticing and believable is the underwater world she creates in Ingo. Telegraph
