Franny Stone, the main character in Charlotte McConaghy's sensational first novel, is on a journey. She is following what may be the last migration of the world's last arctic terns aboard one of the world's last commercial fishing vessels. Much more than a novel about environmental catastrophe, Migrations is about a woman trying to understand where she came from, who she is, and why she has always relentlessly wandered. A perfect literary page-turner. ~ Reviewed by Stan Hynds
