  • Lynn D. (Kingston, NY)
    Beautiful book cover!
    In Wild and Distant Seas the ocean is the backdrop for this story inspired by Moby-Dick. Just as Ahab spent years searching for the great white whale, the 4 generations of mothers and daughters spend years in search of the elusive, apparently because this will give meaning to their lives. I liked the various settings in this novel. However, I didn't find all the characters as sympathetic as Evangeline whose life in 1849 Nantucket is where the story begins.
  • Dorothy H. (Folsom, CA)
    Four generations of women seeking their path to their future
    The author delves into four generations of women, whose journey begins in Nantucket 1849 and travel to South America, Europe and finally back in US. Each generation has their own story and they each have "the power" to know others past. The author paints a picture each women and the time they are living. Book will be good for a Book Club.
