Maurice and Maralyn
The story of a married couple who embark on a voyage across the world to New Zealand in their own small yacht. In the middle of the Pacific they are sunk by an inquisitive whale and spend the next three months in a lifeboat.
This is fantastic - and its all true! Using Maralyn's detailed diaries and an interview someone recorded with Maurice the author recreates their whole lives pretty much - reads just like a novel. Great job.
