Her husband, Hosea, and the life they built together, was once all she needed-but now Hosea is gone, lost at sea. Evangeline is only able to hold on to his inn, and her place on the island, by employing a curious gift to glimpse and re-form the recent memories of those who would cast her out. One night, an idealistic sailor appears on her doorstep asking her to call him Ishmael. He seeks only a warm bed and a bowl of chowder, and yet suddenly, unsettlingly, her careful illusion begins to fracture. He soon sails away with Ahab to hunt an infamous white whale, and Evangeline is left to forge a new life from the pieces that remain"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Whaling $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sailors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Nantucket Island (Mass.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 17 952 $l GNPB062 $d 20240416011735.0 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20240412011446.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045234.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20240404010541.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20240402010100.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012956.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20240321010800.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030312.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240210010133.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240202022534.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20240202012233.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240202011927.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240202011503.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012735.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240106010112.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012038.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20240103011150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D5FCC112AA0511EE99E4BB4527ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
