Reddit reviews The Oyster Thief: A Novel

Hey everyone,

I'm u/tapaseaswar, one of the Marketing Managers for Sonia Faruqi, author of the critically acclaimed Project Animal Farm. Sonia has a brand new novel coming out this October called The Oyster Thief. It's the world’s first underwater novel with themes of ocean science and conservation.

Sonia meticulously researched the underwater setting depicted in The Oyster Thief. She snorkeled, scuba-dived, swam with sharks and pored over books and hundreds of articles about the ocean. All the animals and algae mentioned in The Oyster Thief are true-to-life; even the names of all the characters are scientifically grounded, drawn from the sea and the stars!

Jodi Picoult, the bestselling author of My Sister’s Keeper, says in her endorsement: “The Oyster Thief creates a lush, imaginary underwater world that somehow manages to reinforce the reality of the need for environmental awareness - it’s unlike anything I’ve ever read."

Sonia will be holding several author speaking events in the coming weeks, and would love to have you attend!
