There are fewer grey seals in the world than endangered African
elephants, but the British Isles host almost half of this global
population. Every year these charismatic animals, with their
expressive eyes and whiskers more sensitive than our fingertips,
haul out on our shores to breed and raise their pups. Susan
Richardson has always been entranced by seals; they seem to have
surfaced at key junctions throughout her life, comforting her as an
anxious child, bringing joy as she began to spread her wings as a
writer and helping her to find her way after the loss of her
mother. Now she sets out to trace the rhythm of their lives,
travelling the coasts clockwise from Cornwall to Norfolk, in line
with the autumn pupping season. Along the way she explores the
myths surrounding seals, from their shapeshifting selkie skins to
the claims that they decimate fish populations, and she discovers
that the greatest dangers they face come from co-existing with us.
Brimming with vivid descriptions of the natural world, Where the
Seals Sing is a lyrical tale of memory, rescue and rehabilitation.
While loss, both personal and ecological, is a recurring theme, the
human-seal connection that flows through the story is stirring and
uplifting.
