Ahab's Wife: Or, the Star Gazer

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 masterful storyteller and in the company of a fascinating woman hero, Una Spenser. Inspired by a brief passage from Melville's Moby Dick, Una's moving tale "is very much Naslund's own and can be enjoyed independently of its source" (Newsday). Naslund portrays Una's love for the tragically driven Ahab, magnificently renders a real, living marriage, and offers a new perspective on the American experience.Naslund, Sena Jeter is the author of 'Ahab's Wife: Or, the Star Gazer' with ISBN 9780606205368 and ISBN 0606205365.
