About this Item
BRUFF, Nancy [251] pp. E.P. Dutton & Co., Inc. 1945 Sixth Printing 7 3/4" x 5 1/2" Jacket illustration by William Sharp A story of Nantucket whaling days. Searing hatred and vibrant love vie for the possession of captain Jabez Folger s soul. This stemmed from his first voyage when he had an experience so evil that it changed his life. Now and then a warm and gentle spirit would emerge, his old self. Under this influence he married a lovely Quaker girl but now he had turned against dry land. His love centered on the mermaid figure head on his boat, a symbol of the beauty and indifference of the sea. A powerful book, vivid characters, a plot breathtaking in scope. Seller Inventory # 19404
