An extraordinary true tale of love, shipwreck and survival, beautifully told -- Maurice and Maralyn's escape from 1970s England and its oil crisis, strikes and inflation is also a story for our times. An extraordinary true story of shipwreck, survival and love 'An absolute jewel of a book' India Knight 'A gripping tale of adventure' Elizabeth Day '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. 'This skilful storytelling drew me in...very touching indeed' James Rebanks 'With the adrenaline kick of Jaws... A remarkable portrait of a marriage kept afloat against the odds' Financial Times 'This dramatic, profound human story is so beautifully told.
