註釋Oceana is the final book in a trilogy about the life, loves and adventures of Minnie-May Houghton. Minnie-May is the narrator, using both her diaries and her memories to create her autobiographical stories.Minnie-May introduces herself in Book 1, 'Wild Waves & Dragon's Song'. She begins her story at the age of 11 and continues into her early 20s. Home is a state of mind. She is an outdoor girl in much of what she does in life. She can sleep under the family of stars above, or slumber in a boat, where the waves are members of her clan. She loves the ocean; the feel of rippling water gently caressing her toes when she paddles from the shore.She visits a remote island off the coast of Ireland and falls in love. She gets a job as a DJ on a pirate radio ship, moored off the Essex coast !In Book 2, 'Planing Footsteps in the Sea', she develops her skills as a researcher, learns to dive, encounters a stranger who appears to belong to the 16th century and meets a young woman, a sailor, who is circumnavigating the world. She records her own adventures as a sailor, culminating in her experiences as a competitor in the 1974 Round Britain and Ireland Yacht Race. Reality merges with fantasy during this challenging race when she and her fellow crew member are stranded on a remote Scottish island after a storm at sea. Mysterious happenings occur in this place. She and her co-sailor and childhood friend become lovers.In this final Book 3, 'Oceana', Minnie-May, continues her work as an oceanographer. She gains a place on a three month research voyage to the Puerto Rico Trench, one of the deepest parts of the ocean on Earth. She takes on the role of general dogsbody on board, but also gets the opportunity to dive to amazing depths and see miraculous creatures belonging to the other world of the deep sea.
