Maurice and Maralyn make an odd couple. He &rsquo\;s a loner\, awkward and obsessive\; she&rsquo\;s charismatic and a mbitious. But they share a horror of wasting their lives. And they dream & ndash\; as we all dream &ndash\; of running away from it all. What if they quit their jobs\, sold their house\, bought a boat\, and sailed away?
\nMost of us begin and end with the daydream. But in June 1972\, Mauric e and Maralyn set sail. For nearly a year all went well\, until deep in th e Pacific\, a breaching whale knocked a hole in their boat and it sank ben eath the waves.
\nWhat ensues is a jaw-dropping fight to survive in the wild ocean\, with little hope of rescue. Alone together for months in a tiny rubber raft\, starving and exhausted\, Maurice and Maralyn have to find not only ways to stay alive but ways to get along\, as their inner de mons emerge and their marriage is put to the greatest of tests. Although t hey could run away from the world\, they can&rsquo\;t run away from themse lves.
\nTaut\, propulsive\, and dazzling\, \;A Marriage at Sea&n bsp\;pairs an adrenaline-fueled high seas adventure with a gutting love st ory that asks why we love difficult people\, and who we become under the m ost extreme conditions imaginable.
