Ring of Bright Water - should I continue?

[cosmopolitanplease]

I'm listening to this on Audible at the moment. I chose it because it's a classic and features Scotland, nature and wildlife, all of which I love. I'm about an hour in (still on the first chapter) but am finding the frequent accounts of animal death quite distressing; I avoid stuff like this on tv because I just can't enjoy such stories as part of entertainment. I know it's part of nature (well not so much the accounts of hunting) but I would really rather avoid this subject. Can anyone tell me if it carries on in this vein please? Thanks

Well it’s a long time since I read it but my recollection is that there is indeed quite a bit of animal death in it.

It's a book and film that made me cry a lot.

Dont carry on reading. I saw the film and the ending has stuck with me.

What Bathroom says. I saw the film as a teenager and the ending really upset me. Don't put yourself through it.

Oh goodness I'm glad I stopped reading and asked here then! I'll return it to Audible and exchange it for something less distressing. Thanks everyone

This ^^

Why do they do this?? I loved Turner and Hooch but why did the dog have to die? Dont get me started on Marley and Me either.

Ring of Bright Water is non fiction.

No don’t carry on. I still remember seeing it when I was young and not sure I ever got over the ending

The ending of the film made me cry. It has stayed long in my memory.

It is heartbreaking

You'll need tissues if you do carry on.
