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

Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-Gazer

Helpful Score: 1


An fictional narrative of the wife of Ahab, the backdrop is the whaling industry of New England and the society on Cape Cod. Wonderful detail without ever being tedious, this is a book for adults, but not anything like a soap opera or romance novel. I loved it and wouldn't part with my copy, but I have two.
