Title: Rush Oh!
Author: Shirley Barrett

Publisher's Summary:
Rush Oh! tells the unforgettable tale of a close-knit whaling community in New South Wales where a bright young woman struggles with sibling rivalry, a stern father and falling in love with John Beck, a man with a shady past.
Eldest daughter Mary tells us her story as a loving document of remembrance, ostensibly for her younger relatives, but as the minutes pass we learn how her fierce longing for the itinerant John Beck and the growing complexity of her relationship with her glamorous sister, Louisa, herself involved in a forbidden love affair, have shaped and moulded her.
Shirley Barrett's debut novel is a celebration of an exceptional episode in Australian history, when a pod of killer whales and a family of whalers formed a fond, unique allegiance - the killer whales, each given an individual name and personality, actually helped the whalers to ensnare their prey in return for the first pickings of the captured animals.
Members Reviews:
Outstanding!! Humorous and historical! Highly, highly recommended!
Humorous and historical! Excellent! This is the best book I have read - all year! Guys and gals will love this! The novel includes humorous historical information about whaling and killer whales, funny and 'funny sad' romances, humorous family tales, excellent and witty dialogue, and more. Based on actual events and has a great follow up at the end about the facts in the novel. Illustrations are neat as well! I wish more books were as amusing as this one! Definitely will look for the author's next book. This book should win an award. This book deserves A+++++
This book was well written and I particularly enjoyed the historical content of the book
This book was well written and I particularly enjoyed the historical content of the book. It is so easy to forget how our grandparents and great parents lived, their thoughts, and values. In reading a book like this it helps us understand decisions that they made in their lives.
An interesting read and insight into the life of whalers ...
An interesting read and insight into the life of whalers and their family. Also fascinating to read about how the killer whales and humans worked cooperatively.
