Three stories cross on the pages of "The Past Lives of Dolphins": the fate of an unfinished book by the feminist Edith Wynner dedicated to Rosika Schwimmer the activist, pacifist, and suffragist multiple nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize and the relationship between these two extraordinary women in the first half of the 20th century; the experiences of a Basque family living in modern-day New York against the socially and politically fraught back-drop of the last days of the Trump era; and the narrator's reminiscences about her childhood friend and the coastal town where they both grew up in the seventies and eighties among a revolutionary group of women. Passionate, tender, and poetic, full of secrets to be uncovered, deliciously written and terribly human, "The Past Lives of Dolphins" is the most ambitious so far of Kirmen Uribe's novels.
