From the opening lines, 'The Mariner's Star' seizes and holds you by the force of its writing, with startling, vital images on every page and the musical rhythms of the prose . . . How and why did the fisherman die? Why is his wife following him? Does she intend to kill herself? What kind of relief or state of grace is she pursuing?
'The Mariner's Star' is a love story and, like all great love stories, a death story . . . a treat to be lingered over . . . The novel's cumulative effect is emotionally rocking. The writing is so evocative that to read it feels like being inside a painting.
