“This work of speculative eco-fiction begins simply enough with a shocking scene, a father burying a shark in his tomato garden. We follow the growing young female narrator as she works her way through burgeoning feeling of desire, hunger, and imagination. The garden and the girl grow, nurtured on the blood and flesh of the shark. Ingenious in design, the story has a braided-in underlife narrative layer, characterized by deep time geological scenarios, where we learn the evolutionary history of the shark and its ancestors, and we are reminded of our own deep time history and biological connections to our evolutionary ancestors.”
