This book is many things. It is a book of poetry. It is a book of collected thoughts, small gems of knowledge, tales and songs. What this book is not, is a book about women and the sea. Whoever told her to add the subtitle women and the sea to it should be fired. The way it’s been organised would be fine if it wasn’t sectioned off with titles of Greek goddesses who have absolutely nothing to do with the text itself. My friends and I agreed it felt very much like a (male) editor essentially decided books “about women” were really popular right now so she ought to jump on the bandwagon being a woman herself.  
If you ignore that, it’s a really lovely book. But if you want to read tales of women in context of the sea this book is absolutely not it.
