The Whalebone Theatre by Joanna Quinn Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK • A transporting, irresistible debut novel that takes its heroine, Cristabel Seagrave, from a theatre made of whalebones to covert operations during World War II—a story of love, family, bravery, lost innocence, and self-transformation.

“Absolute aces...Quinn’s imagination and adventuresome spirit are a pleasure to behold.” —The New York Times

“Utterly heartbreaking and joyous.” —Jo Baker, author of Longbourn

One blustery night in 1928, a whale washes up on the shores of the English Channel. By law, it belongs to the King, but twelve-year-old orphan Cristabel Seagrave has other plans. She and the rest of the household—her sister, Flossie; her brother, Digby, long-awaited heir to Chilcombe manor; Maudie Kitcat, kitchen maid; Taras, visiting artist—build a theatre from the beast’s skeletal rib cage. Within the Whalebone Theatre, Cristabel can escape her feckless stepparents and brisk governesses, and her imagination comes to life.

As Cristabel grows into a headstrong young woman, World War II rears its head. She and Digby become British secret agents on separate missions in Nazi-occupied France—a more dangerous kind of playacting, it turns out, and one that threatens to tear the family apart.

Slow and boring. For lack of better words because my brain hurts from finishing this, this book was miserable. The characters were lovely, but the story was so drawn out…bloody miserably boring read. Don’t see what the fuss is about.

Excellent writing. Kept my interest from beginning to the end.

Wonderful book. I especially liked the children’s points of view in the beginning chapters. Really all the characters were very well developed and made such an interesting read. I would read it again.

DNF. DNF. I had such high hopes for this book. It’s all over reading lists, it’s recommended at the library, and it seems like a great story. The problem? The pacing is terribly slow and the plot is nearly nonexistent. I wish I was able to read a 550 page book with almost no discernible storyline or action, but I am not. I got a little over halfway through, so I’m counting it, if only as a reward for the emotional labor I put myself through every night for a week trying to find something to like about it. I think it could be great if it was more thoughtfully edited. PS: does anyone else feel guilty stopping a book halfway through?

Great but parts dreadful. Beautiful writing but uneven. Parts exquisite in language but painfully slow in developing the story in the first part of the book. I found myself riveted by some descriptions, then quickly page turning to get back to the story.

Ha. Well could you tell me the main idea?there isn’t available in my country
