I won't provide the details on what this entrancing novel is about, there's hundreds of other reviews on Goodreads that check that box. What I WILL divulge is that I seriously LOVED this story. It's deep, the character development is so rich, taut, like the author squeezed everything she could out of this husband, this wife, this marriage, leaving nothing behind. This isn't just a story about a couple that shuns suburbia, packs up the kids, and sets sail. This is a story about how this family is changed by their life at sea, how it changes them, and how once they set sail, nothing can ever be the same. Simply brilliant, heart-wrenching, and ultimately hopeful – a story that sticks with you for a while.
