Description

Elizabeth's life has been one of quiet strength and resilience. Married to her husband for twelve years, she has yet to spend an entire year with him, as he embarks on his explorations. In their home by the Thames, she manages the household, raises their children, and faces unbearable sorrow alone. As she prepares for another homecoming, Elizabeth looks forward to her husband's return and the work they will undertake together - reading and editing his journals. However, as James Cook sets sail towards another adventure, Elizabeth must navigate her own independence and the challenges that come with it. Can her husband find the compassion to support her as their family faces unimaginable loss? This intimate novel offers a deeply personal account of Elizabeth's life, one that is both revelatory and richly rewarding. Through recollection and imagination, Anna Enquist brings Elizabeth's story to life, painting a psychological portrait of an independent woman ahead of her time.
