This is the story of Humphrey Clark and Ailsa Kelman, who spent a summer together as children in Ornemouth, a town by the gray North Sea. As they journey back to Ornemouth to receive honorary degrees from a new university there—Humphrey on the train, Ailsa flying—they take stock of their lives over the past thirty years, their careers, and their shared personal entanglements. Humphrey is a successful marine biologist, happiest under water, but now retired; Ailsa, scholar and feminist, is celebrated for her pioneering studies of gender and for her gift for lucid and dramatic exposition. The memories of their lives unfold as Margaret Drabble exquisitely details the social life in England in the second half of the last century.

Review:
A pleasure to read . . . utterly engrossing (Guardian)

'The Sea Lady proves [Drabble] remains one of the most thought-provoking and intellectually challenging writers around.' FT magazine

Drabble excels at describing the minute detail of human behaviour...The Sea Lady is a potent tribute to lost dreams and harsh realities. (The Independent)

An intelligent, full-bodied, big-hearted book (Daily Mail)
From the Back Cover:
Advance Praise for The Sea Lady

“It is a pleasure to read The Sea Lady and find again the canny, cagey, unfooled, intransigent author of The Needle’s Eye...Drabble’s generous and unsentimental truthfulness to the condition of childhood is very rare.” –Ursula Le Guin, The Guardian
“[A] dense, fascinating novel...Drabble writes beautifully about the passing of time and the sad, incomplete experience of human love.” –The New Statesman
“But for all its dark knowledge, oceanic psychology, and spiny social critique, Drabble’s novel is as scintillating as a sunny day on board a fast-moving sailboat on the life-sustaining sea.” –Booklist (starred)
