"Call me Bathsheba." This week's Book of the Week, And the Ocean Was Our Sky, written by Patrick Ness and illustrated by Rovina Cai, is a remarkable inversion of - and futuristic riff on - Moby-Dick, told from the point of view of the whale - and no less a portrayal of the damaging effects of obsession and brutality.
