Advantages: A flight of fancy that carries you along and away Disadvantages: May perplex those whose feet are irreversibly stuck to the ground
I apologise in advance if I fail utterly to convey accurately the nature and content of this wondrous novel. Not that this matters exactly, as my purpose here is simply to convince you to take the plunge and immerse in the product of what is a very, very active and delectable imagination.
Firstly, Galilee is not about the sea of the same name. In this book, Galilee is the name of the lead character in what is ostensibly a saga about a rivalry between two families. Or so the blurb on the jacket would have you believe. But it isn't, it so isn't!
Oh yes, it is about two families, but it's less about the power of individual characters set on destroying their foes, and more about the forces of nature taking their toll on the helpless creatures who must suffer the fate dealt them.

I currently live in Stourport on Severn in the heart of Worcestershire and recently had some distant relatives come to visit for the weekend and we needed somewhere for them to stay as our house just wasn?t big enough to accommodate the whole family.
