It's a haunting, beautifully written book which creates a totally believable parallel world. Helen Dunmore is an exceptional and versatile writer and she writes with a restrained, sensual grace. Helen Dunmore may have a few drowned readers on her conscience, so enticing and believable is the underwater world she creates in Ingo. The electric thrill of swimming with dolphins, of racing along currents, and of leaving the world of reason and caution behind are described with glorious intensity.
Ingo has a haunting, dangerous beauty all of its own. Like the ocean itself, this book is deep and strange and marvellous.
Amanda Craig, The Timesĭunmore's graceful style is what makes the unbelievable believable. Waterstone's Books Quarterlyĭunmore appears to be able to turn her hand to any genre and transform it with her golden touch, making it wholly compulsive and convincing. Just as spellbinding as its predecessors. Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times Culture Characters are clear-cut and written with exuberance. See the complete Ingo series book list in order, box sets or omnibus editions, and companion titles. The Daily Telegraphĭunmore's series is written in a sensual, descriptive prose that evokes the watery kingdom with conviction. The Ingo book series by Helen Dunmore includes books Ingo, The Tide Knot, The Deep, and several more. The descriptions of plunging 'sleek and fast as a seal' through turquoise water into the rich blue-purple that lies beneath are gorgeous. Dunmore's writing, steeped in maritime legends, is exquisite.
