About This Item
MP3 Audio CD. Lucretia, a beautiful young bride, has shown much affection to her husband ? a young sea captain ? before marriage, but now she inexplicably decides to lock herself in her bedroom and never to speak to her husband again. Will the distance that the unforgiving sea places between them tame the psychological challenges that the young couple is going through?
This is the premise for this remarkably well-written and refreshing book written by William Clark Russell. Abandoned is only one of the many exceptional works that Russell has written throughout his long and successful career as a writer and is closely inspired by Russell's own experience of being on sea merchant ships ? just as his character Frank Raynolds, Lucretia's husband.
If you enjoy lengthy descriptions, romance and an intriguing plot that mixes the longing for romantic harmony with the challenges of life at sea, this book is definitely an exceptional read that you need to consider.
Russell's approach to telling the story and his depictions of the conversations between the sailors clearly show his knowledge of what it meant to be a merchant seaman in the late 19th century, and even provides historically relevant information that practically sweep you off into a truly enchanting era.
Love, confusion, abandonment and disillusion are just some of the intense emotions that revolve around this love story, where the handsome, charismatic sea captain is forced to do his best to win the heart of his beloved once more. The mixture of romance, adventure and deceit portrayed by the author adds a dynamic dimension to the story that truly makes it a pleasurable read.
You can easily lose yourself in this enchanting novel about love and abandonment, and the interesting and often exciting plot twists included in the story will only serve to make it more and more enjoyable as you progress through the pages.
