pp 668, “‘Captain Ahab was neither my first husband nor my last.’ This is destined to be remembered as one of the most-recognized first sentences in literature–along with ‘Call me Ishmael.’ Sena Jeter Naslund has created an entirely new universe with a transcendent heroine at its center who will be every bit as memorable as Captain Ahab. ‘Ahab’s Wife’ is a novel on a grand scale that can legitimately be called a masterpiece: beautifully written, filled with humanity and wisdom, rich in historical detail, authentic and evocative. Melville’s spirit informs every page of her tour de force.” Signed by the author.
