The New York Times: Loath to trade on Shark Week sensibilities, Whitty's rapture is more subtle, grand, intelligent and cosmological; and her primary devotion is to the coral reefs.
O, the Oprah Magazine: The product of a scientist's mind, a sociologist's eye, a Zen Buddhist's soul, and a poet's heart, The Fragile Edge is at once a natural history, a call to action, a love song, and a prayer.
Elle Magazine: Forget treacly chick lit. Like the best nature writers, Whitty is both clear-eyed and spiritual about her subject. This is a moving and illuminating love story about one woman and the fathomless deep.
O. Henry winner, Bernice Slote Award winner, PEN-Hemingway runner-up, National Magazine Award finalist
The Washington Post: A strikingly original book of short stories. Serious environmentalists are seldom noted for their sense of humor. Whitty is one who can provide it.
The San Francisco Chronicle: Whitty's prodigious natural talents: a supple biodiversity of language and an empathy for people and animals alike that puts most other writers in the shade.
The Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer: The stories' imaginative energy spring from Whitty's ability to enter unfamiliar realms. There's a strong melody to her prose, a prankish humor and an exhilarating confidence in the way she makes vast leaps through time.
