From
the highly acclaimed author of Schroder, a smart, sophisticated page literary
page-turner about a young family who escape suburbia for a yearlong sailing
trip that upends all of their lives.
Juliet is failing to juggle
motherhood and her stalled-out dissertation on confessional poetry when her
husband, Michael, informs her that he wants to leave his job and buy a
sailboat. With their two kids—Sybil, age seven, and George, age two—Juliet and
Michael set off for Panama, where their forty-four foot sailboat awaits them.
The initial result is
transformative; the marriage is given a gust of energy, Juliet emerges from her
depression, and the children quickly embrace the joys of being feral children
at sea. Despite the stresses of being novice sailors, the family learns to crew
the boat together on the ever-changing sea. The vast horizons and isolated
islands offer Juliet and Michael reprieve – until they are tested by the
unforeseen.
Sea Wife is told in gripping
dual perspectives: Juliet’s first person narration, after the journey, as she
struggles to come to terms with the life-changing events that unfolded at sea,
and Michael’s captain’s log, which provides a riveting, slow-motion account of
these same inexorable events, a dialogue that reveals the fault lines created
by personal history and political divisions.
Sea Wife is a transporting
novel about marriage, family and love in a time of unprecedented turmoil. It is
unforgettable in its power and astonishingly perceptive in its portrayal of
optimism, disillusionment, and survival.
