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. Her choices ripple through generations, across continents, and into the depths of the sea, in a narrative that follows Evangeline and her descendants from mid-nineteenth century Nantucket to Boston, Brazil, Florence, and Idaho. Moving, beautifully written, and elegantly conceived, Wild and Distant Seas takes Moby-Dick as its starting point, but Tara Karr Roberts brings four remarkable women to life in a spellbinding epic all her own. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Fiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Literature. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Soudek, Natasha. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=10335392 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1294-1/%7B00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000186%7DImg100.jpg $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1294-1/%7B00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000186%7DImg200.jpg $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/6ed6c62d-8a4d-443d-86a9-d29d945ef68c $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240206011228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D33D6D2C4BD11EEB847D6DA21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
