Inspired by Moby Dick, Ahab's Wife is not only vivid storytelling at its best but a great and revealing love story. Beautifully written, filled with humanity and wisdom, rich in historical detail, authentic and evocative, this splendid novel offers a sweeping, yet intimate picture of a remarkable woman who both typifies and transcends her times. 'The narrator, obviously something more than the sweet, resigned wife that Melville hardly mentions, belongs to a world in which an intelligent woman's best friends might seem to be Wordsworth and Shakespeare and Keats; her story reads as if one of the Bronte sisters had gone off whaling.'
