Book Review of Ahab's Wife : Or, The Star-gazer

Ahab's Wife : Or, The Star-gazer
reviewed on


A very compelling account of the life of Ahab of Moby Dick fame. While the story is well told and interesting to read, I found it pock marked with questionable historical accuracies, especially with regard to the religious beliefs common to New Englanders of that period.

A fascinating "what if..." nonetheless.
