5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Engaging Novel, June 13, 2009

By

This review is from: Under the Eye of the Storm (Hardcover)

This is an extremely well-written gem that takes place in the treacherous ocean waters during a hurricane. The owner of the boat is unsure of the status of his marriage, and his relationship with his wife is threatened by the couple joining them on their holiday excursion. The boat becomes a metaphor for the strength of the marriage and the reader is led along a twisting path of perceptions. I was truly astounded by this novel!

This review is from: Under the Eye of the Storm (Hardcover)

this is the tale of the sea, of two men and their wives on a sailboat, moving toward the heart of a great storm. It is an adventure story that carries four travelers on the yawl Harmony from Edgartown to Menemsha to Block Island and thence out into a huge, dark cone of uncertainty. In the modulating airs of the voyage four personalities emerge to work on each other. The two marriages seem to react to the barometer.
