They heard a sound so distant, so remote in memory that Fingal wondered if he had dreamed about it. As they drew closer he realised what it was. It was the rhythm of their own river bar, the river was singing its own song and the great surf crashing on the bar beat like a drum.They followed its music now as if mesmerised. All around them they sensed other fish also swimming towards the river. What if Watership Down had taken place underwater instead of on dry land.' Song of the River plunges us into a watery kingdom deep beneath the waves where a host ot fish become our world-all-round. A group of salmon - Fingal, Bubble, Gaffer and the beautiful Silverfin - hatched on a fish farm and now living in the sea, must make their way back to the river and their spawning grounds. Along the way they face many dangers and encounter a variety of fish and animals - each with a story to tell. Soinbhe Lally emerges from the shimmering world of her first novel a sensitive and gifted writer.
