About this listen
On her 49th birthday, Anna Fergusson, Boston neuroscientist and dedicated introvert, arrives at an unwanted crossroads when the funding for her research lab is cut. With her confidence shattered and her future uncertain, on impulse she rents a cabin for a year on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. However Turtle Island, alive with sea birds and nesting Green turtles, is not the retreat she expected.
Here she finds love - for the eccentric islanders who become her family; for Tom, the laid-back turtle whisperer; and for the turtles whose ancient mothering instincts move her to tears. But Anna finds that even on her idyllic drop in the ocean, there is pain, and as the months fly past, her dream for a new life is threatened by a darkness that challenges everything she has come to believe about the power of love.
Evocative and thought-provoking, A Drop in the Ocean is a story about second chances and hard lessons learned in the gentlest of ways.

A Drop in the Ocean
I really loved this book which took me down memory lane. Refreshing, insightful and heartfelt . Wonderful experience of life on a coral island and the amazing breeding cycle of turtles. It felt like I was there with the sun, salt air and adventure. The narration by Cat Gould was excellent and really captured the essence of the characters.

A lovely story
I loved the candid discussions Anna had with herself, and the detail of her adventures on turtle island. It almost felt like I was there. Having lived in a remote community myself, I could easily identify with the local characters.
