\nThe electrifying true story of a young couple shipwrecked at sea: a mind-blowing tale of obsession\, survival\, and partnership stre tched to its limits. Maurice and Maralyn make an odd couple. He's a loner\ , awkward and obsessive\; she's charismatic and ambitious. But they share a horror of wasting their lives. And they dream - as we all dream - of run ning away from it all. What if they quit their jobs\, sold their house\, b ought a boat\, and sailed away? Most of us begin and end with the daydream . But Maurice began to study nautical navigation. Maralyn made detailed li sts of provisions. And in June 1972\, they set sail. For nearly a year all went well\, until deep in the Pacific\, a breaching whale knocked a hole in their boat and it sank beneath the waves. What ensues is a jaw-dropping fight to survive on the wild ocean\, with little hope of rescue. Alone to gether 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 alon g\, as their inner demons emerge and their marriage is put to the greatest of tests. Although they could run away from the world\, they can't run aw ay from themselves. Taut\, propulsive\, and dazzling\, A Marriage at sea p airs adrenaline-fueled high seas adventure with a gutting love story that asks why we love difficult people\, and who we become under the most extre me conditions imaginable.
