Migrations

Migrations is the story of Franny Stone, a woman who seeks to follow the last of the Arctic terns on their final migration from Greenland to Antarctica. Franny searches and searches and at last finds a ship willing to allow her on board, enticed by the prospect that Franny's tracking devices on some of the terns will lead the ship to fish, one of the many animals of the world that has almost died out. Onboard the ship are a crew of lost souls much like Franny.

The story weaves in and out of the present with the past, and it's told beautifully. It's a frightening story as well, a look into a possible future.
