Spunky Una Spenser's intellectual journey celebrates life with gusto 

Perfect Retirement Reading to Tuck into Your New Handbag!

Set in the 1800s, covering the distance from Kentucky to a Lighthouse off Cape Cod, this novel is filled with the gorgeous adventures of a brilliant spunky woman. Famous historical figures interact in surprising ways with this woman who captivated and challenged the mythical Captain Ahab.

Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-Gazer: A Novel

Amazon Price: (as of 10/13/2008)

Published in 1999, it took me 9 years to find this epic enthralling novel that introduces the wife Sena Jeter Naslund gave to Herman Melville's Captain Ahab --- with a punch. It is an intellectually rewarding tale, grounded in a factual historical 19th Century.
