While aronnax and Conseil remain enamored by the wonders of the ocean, Ned is bent on escaping his underwater prison. Will the three captives ever manage to escape the Nautilus and its enigmatic maker?.
Such an incredibly complex story! I had to buy it because there was a waiting list of 30+ at the local library for this book. Thrilled that I made the purchase
I read this book shortly after I got it and didn't just put it on my TBR shelf mainly because I saw it on Reese Witherspoon's bookclub September read. It was one of the best books I've read this year, and reminded me some of Kristen Hannah's The Great Alone.
