'An extraordinary survival story' Sunday Times
Bored of 1970s suburban life, Maurice and Maralyn plan their escape- sell the house, build a boat, set sail for New Zealand. Then, halfway around the world, their beloved boat is struck by a whale and the pair are cast adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Alone on a tiny raft, their love is put to the test. This is a book about human connection and the human condition; about how we survive - not just at sea, but in life.
