1 Naslund, Sena Jeter Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-Gazer

Hardcover: 1999 William Morrow First edition (Stated) 0688171877 / 9780688171872
Book: Fine. DJ: Very good. DJ has slight creasing along top edge. Shipping weight 1,200 (grams).
'Captain Ahab was neither my first husband nor my last.' This is destined to be remembered as one of the most-recognized first sentences in literature--along with 'Call me Ishmael.' Sena Jeter Naslund has created an entirely new universe with a transcendent heroine at its center who will be every bit as memorable as Captain Ahab. 'Ahab's Wife' is a novel on a grand scale that can legitimately be called a masterpiece: beautifully written, filled with humanity and wisdom, rich in historical detail, authentic and evocative. Melville's spirit informs every page of her tour de force. Una Spenser's marriage to Captain Ahab is certainly a crucial element in the narrative of 'Ahab's Wife', but the story covers vastly more territory. After a spellbinding opening scene, the tale flashes back to Una's childhood in Kentucky; her idyllic adolescence with her aunt and uncle's family at a lighthouse near New Bedford; her adventures disguised as a cabin boy on a whaling ship; her first marriage to a fellow survivor who descends into violent madness; courtship and marriage to Ahab; life as mother and a rich captain's wife in Nantucket; involvement with Frederick Douglass; and a man who is in Nantucket researching his novel about his adventures on her ex-husband's ship. 'Ahab's Wife' is a breathtaking, magnificent, and uplifting story of one woman's spiritual journey, informed by the spirit of the greatest American novel, but taking it beyond tragedy to redemptive triumph.

2 Naslund, Sena Jeter Four Spirits

Hardcover: 2003 William Morrow First edition (Stated) 0066212383 / 9780066212388
Book: Fine. DJ: Fine. Shipping weight 965 (grams).
From the acclaimed author of the national bestseller 'Ahab's Wife' comes an inspiring, brilliantly rendered new novel of the awakening conscience of the South and of an entire nation. Written with the same scope and emotional depth as her previous award-winning novel, 'Four Spirits' is set in Sena Jeter Naslund's home city of Birmingham, Alabama, a city that in the 1960s was known as Bombingham. Naslund brings to life this tumultuous time, weaving together the lives of blacks and whites, civil rights advocates and racists, and the events of peaceful protest and violent repression, to create a tapestry of American social transformation.
