Christopher Wormell (Illustrator) (illustrator). 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, Sena Jeter Naslund has created an enthralling and compellingly readable saga, spanning a rich, eventful, and dramatic life. At once a family drama, a romantic adventure, and a portrait of a real and loving marriage, Ahab's Wife gives new perspective on the American experience.

Illustrated with black-and-white drawings and a black-and-white frontispiece. Ahab's Wife is an epic tour de force and deserves its rightful place next to Melville's classic. Ambitous, powerful, heartbreaking, and transcendent at once, Una Spenser's tale of a life fully lived gives us what we crave: a compelling story beautifully told. This is a great American novel." - Bret Lott, author of Jewel. "Ahab's Wife is a worthy female companion to Moby-Dick and a tour de force in its own right." - Gail Godwin, author. "Line up the literary prizes. Rendered in language both lush and luminous, Ahab's Wife is sustenance for the mind and soul." - Wally Lamb, author. "Based on nineteenth-century sources and peopled with a rich array of fictional, mythic, and historical characters, this ambitious novel is a kind of Technicolor dream quilt that turns Moby-Dick inside out and stitches it back together. Harrowing, poignant, and comical by turns, Ahab's Wife is an audacious romp through mid-nineteenth-century New England history that is amply informed by both scholarship and imagination. A spanking good read." - Laurie Robertson-Lorant, author. "Ahab's Wife joins a distinguished tradition of literary works inspired by Moby-Dick. Sean Jeter Naslund's homage to Melville is steeped in his work and at the same time explores a world that Melville left largely uncharted: the world of woman's experience in nineteenth-century America. She weaves a richly imagined tapestry of historical details, compelling characters, literary history, metaphysics, and a gripping plot. Ahab's Wife is a riveting novel." - Elizabeth Renker, author. "A deliciously old-fashioned bildungsroman, adventure story, and romance . with a suspenseful, affecting, historically accurate, and seductive narrative . Una is an enchanting protagonist: intellectually curious, sensitive, imaginative, and kind . A splendid novel that amply fulfills its ambitious purpose, offering a sweeping yet intimate picture of a remarkable woman who both typifies and transcends her times." - Publishers Weekly (starred review). " Una . is so vividly portrayed that she seems more real than fictional . She possesses a sense of wonder, the experience of divinity in all things. A complex and sophisticated book, brilliantly written, beautifully illustrated." - Booklist (starred review). "A ravishingly detailed re-creation of the worlds of 19th century antebellum America and of Melville's seminal Moby-Dick . A genuine epic of America: an inspired homage to one of our greatest writers that brilliantly reinterprets, and in may ways rivals, his masterpiece." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review).
