About the book
Juliet is struggling to balance being a mother and working on her dissertation on confessional poetry when her husband, Michael, announces that he wants to quit his job and purchase a sailboat. Along with their two children - seven-year-old Sybil and two-year-old George - Juliet and Michael head to Panama, where their forty-four foot sailboat is waiting for them.
Their journey brings about significant changes; their marriage is revitalized, Juliet overcomes her depression, and the children quickly adapt to life at sea. The vast seas and remote islands offer a sense of peace and freedom to Juliet and Michael - until they face unexpected challenges.
Sea Wife is a captivating novel about the complexities of marriage, family, and love during turbulent times. It is a powerful and insightful portrayal of hope, disappointment, and resilience.
