Death of a Whaler is a novel written by Australian author Nerida Newton and was first published in 2006. It is Newton's second novel.
Plot summary
Critical reception Michelle Griffin, reviewing the novel for The Sydney Morning Herald, found both good and bad with the book: "Newton writes in thoughtful prose. But she is so bald in spelling out her themes of fate and redemption that her slight story sinks beneath the weight of her motifs."
Kirkus Reviews called it "Portentous storytelling lifted by a graceful style."
Notes Dedication: To Vida, for the joy passed. To Oliver, for the joy to come.
