From the opening line—”Captain Ahab was neither my first husband nor my last”—you will know that you are in the hands of a master storyteller and in the company of a fascinating woman hero. Inspired by a brief passage in “Moby-Dick”, American writer Sena Jeter Naslund has created an enthralling and compellingly readable saga, spanning a rich, eventful, and dramatic life.
“Ahab’s Wife: Or, The Star-Gazer” by Sena Jeter Naslund is published in 1999. Thank you, Eileen, for donating these two beautiful books to the Sea Library.
