   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  hmonkeyreads | Jan 25, 2024 |   LDVoorberg | Dec 24, 2023 | When we meet Juliet, she has returned from the sea and is hiding in a closet, reading Michael’s log, and her mother is taking care of the children. We wonder in the beginning what has happened to Michael as we learn that Juliet suffers from depression that probably stems from childhood trauma. Juliet gradually discloses details of her life and marriage as the plot of Sea Wife develops. We also find that Juliet had begun a dissertation on confessional poetry but discontinued it when she became a mother. She is experiencing unfulfillment on many fronts and weathering many metaphoric personal storms in addition to the observable storms at sea. This novel delves into the power struggles of Juliet’s marriage and also her tenuous relationship with her mother. Through the power of her husband’s journaling, she discovers much about her relationships and herself. Her love of poetry could help her face her tyrants instead of only providing an escape. However, many personal lessons are not learned in time to escape life-changing events.

HTML:A New York Times Notable Book "Sea Wife is a gripping tale of survival at sea??but that??s just the beginning. Amity Gaige also manages, before she??s done, to probe the underpinnings of romantic love, marriage, literary ambition, political inclinations in the Trump age, parenthood, and finally, the nature of survival itself in our broken world. Gaige is thrillingly talented, and her novel enchants." ??Jennifer Egan ??Sea Wife brilliantly breathes life not only into the perils of living at sea, but also into the fraught and hidden dangers of domesticity, motherhood, and marriage. What a smart, swift, and thrilling novel.? ??Lauren Groff From the highly acclaimed author of Schroder, a smart, sophisticated page literary page-turner about a young family who escape suburbia for a yearlong sailing trip that upends all of their lives. Juliet is failing to juggle motherhood and her stalled-out dissertation on confessional poetry when her husband, Michael, informs her that he wants to leave his job and buy a sailboat. With their two kids??Sybil, age seven, and George, age two??Juliet and Michael set off for Panama, where their forty-four foot sailboat awaits them. The initial result is transformative; the marriage is given a gust of energy, Juliet emerges from her depression, and the children quickly embrace the joys of being feral children at sea. Despite the stresses of being novice sailors, the family learns to crew the boat together on the ever-changing sea. The vast horizons and isolated islands offer Juliet and Michael reprieve ?? until they are tested by the unforeseen. Sea Wife is told in gripping dual perspectives: Juliet??s first person narration, after the journey, as she struggles to come to terms with the life-changing events that unfolded at sea, and Michael??s captain??s log, which provides a riveting, slow-motion account of these same inexorable events, a dialogue that reveals the fault lines created by personal history and political divisions. Sea Wife is a transporting novel about marriage, family and love in a time of unprecedented turmoil. It is unforgettable in its power and astonishingly perceptive in its portrayal of o Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Really liked MOST of this enjoyed the duel narratives and liked the sense of dread permeating everything because we know this adventure takes a bad turn but we don’t know how or when. Unfortunately, once we do find out there’s still more book...and most of that part I didn’t enjoy. (
