Overview

A New York Times Notable Book

"Sea WifeĀ is a gripping tale of survival at seaā€”but thatā€™s just the beginning.Ā  Amity Gaige also manages, before sheā€™s done, to probe the underpinnings of romantic love, marriage, literary ambition, political inclinations in the Trump age, parenthood, and finally, the nature of survival itself in our broken world.Ā  Gaige is thrillingly talented, and her novel enchants."
ā€”Jennifer Egan

ā€œSea WifeĀ brilliantly breathes life not only into the perils of living at sea, but also into the fraught and hidden dangers of domesticity, motherhood, and marriage. What a smart, swift, and thrilling novel.ā€
ā€”Lauren Groff


From the highly acclaimed author of Schroder, a smart, sophisticated page literary page-turner about a young family who escape suburbia for a yearlong sailing trip that upends all of their lives.


Juliet is failing to juggle motherhood and her stalled-out dissertation on confessional poetry when her husband, Michael, informs her that he wants to leave his job and buy a sailboat. With their two kidsā€”Sybil, age seven, and George, age twoā€”Juliet and Michael set off for Panama, where their forty-four foot sailboat awaits them.Ā Ā 

The initial result is transformative; the marriage is given a gust of energy, Juliet emerges from her depression, and the children quickly embrace the joys of being feral children at sea. Despite the stresses of being novice sailors, the family learns to crew the boat together on the ever-changing sea.Ā  The vast horizons and isolated islands offer Juliet and Michael reprieve ā€“ until they are tested by the unforeseen.

Sea Wife is told in gripping dual perspectives: Julietā€™s first person narration, after the journey, as she struggles to come to terms with the life-changing events that unfolded at sea, and Michaelā€™s captainā€™s log, which provides a riveting, slow-motion account of these same inexorable events, a dialogue that reveals the fault lines created by personal history and political divisions.Ā Ā 

Sea Wife is a transporting novel about marriage, family and love in a time of unprecedented turmoil. It is unforgettable in its power and astonishingly perceptive in its portrayal of optimism, disillusionment, and survival.
