For the first time in paperback, here is the bestselling novel by ?a writer of extraordinary gifts? (Tobias Wolff). Stunning, hypnotic, spare, The Seal Wife tells the story of a young scientist and his consuming love for a woman known only as the Aleut, a woman who refuses to speak.
A novel of passions both dangerous and generative, The Seal Wife explores the nature of desire and its ability to propel an individual beyond himself and outside convention. Kathryn Harrison brilliantly re-creates the Alaskan frontier during the period of the First World War as she explores with deep understanding the interior landscape of the human psyche?a landscape eerily continuous with the splendor and terror of the frozen frontier and the storms that blow over the earth and its face.
