Description

Es ist mir klar, dass ich an dieser Stelle nicht mehr explizit erwähnen muss, wie sehr mir das Buch gefallen hat. The book has plenty of joyful laughter and much to thoroughly entertain, there is some sadness and drama, there are instances of lack of communication but plenty of examples of kindness.

Die Geschichte rund um Veronica und ihre Lieben verläuft nicht immer problemfrei und auch Verlust und Trauer werden nicht ausgeklammert. Whenever she felt ill during her cancer treatment, Veronica would tell her to ‘Remember the Penguins’.We find out how Patrick is coping with working at Locket Island (spoiler alert – there are some problems) and if Veronica is missing adventure and the penguins. But Veronica has recently discovered a late-life love for family and friendship, adventure and wildlife.

And, of course-the Penguins are being observed in their natural habitats where not all are lucky enough to survive although nothing written is gratuitous. There are lots of penguins and penguin facts along with many ups and downs for Patrick and Veronica on their travels.

He is to find out far more than he ever anticipated, knowledge which challenges what he thought he knew about his mother and father.

There is a particularly strong environmental message to the book – well-timed in the aftermath of the recent COP26 conference – but it’s never laboured, and the simple demonstration of the consequences of human thoughtlessness makes it all the more powerful and personal.Es war so schön, erneut zu erleben, wie sich Veronica in der Antarktis zwar verändert, aber so einige Marotten und vor allem ihren bissigen Humor beibehalten hatte. The book takes an important environmental angle especially the impact of plastics which makes you feel ashamed. Patrick has fitted in well in his role at Locket Island in the Antarctic with its Adelie penguins, where one of them, Pip, continues to hold a special place in all their hearts. Veronica is thrilled for the opportunity to be back among penguins, and the trip goes smoothly until she receives devastating news from her grandson.
