E-Book extras: ONE: An Interview with Sena Jeter Naslund: "The Ship of My Book"; TWO: Author's Note: "The Surprise and Pleasure of It"; THREE: Reading Group Guide: Discussion Points.The famous international bestseller is now a special-features-packed e-book. Inspired by a brief passage in Moby-Dick, Sena Jeter Naslund has created an entirely new universe -- an epic-scale, enthralling, and deliciously readable saga, spanning the full, rich, eventful, and dramatic life of one Una Spenser, for whom "Captain Ahab was neither my first husband nor my last." Illustrated throughout by world-renowned artist Christopher Wormell.
I really hated this book, its only redeeming quality might have been the fun I had bashing it at a book club meeting. It was improbable, contrived and needed some serious editing. I agree with all the morals expressed in the book, but even that sympathy was ruined by the didactic, overly comprehensive presentation of said morals. Yuck. I want the part of my life back that I spent reading this back.
