It is in excellent operational condition. The audio book has recently been played to verify its quality. The description from the back of the case is as follows “Captain Ahab was neither my first husband nor my last. This is destined to be remembered as one of the most-recognized first sentences in literature---along with Call me Ishmael. And Una Spenser, the transcendent hero at the center of Ahab’s Wife may well become every bit as memorable as Ahab. Inspired by a brief passage in Moby Dick, Sena Jeter Naslund has created an entirely new universe—an epic-scale, enthralling and compelling saga, spanning a full, rich, eventful, and dramatic life. In the soprano voice whose absence critics lamented in Moby Dick---the strong, intelligent voice of a woman whose life is dominated by the sea—Nashlund tells many stories. She narrates a family drama, as a child Una is sent away to live in a lighthouse to escape the blows of her religion-mad father. She spins a romantic adventure, as Una finds early passion with a sailor, and disguised as a cabin boy, runs away to sea. She paints a portrait of a real, loving marriage, as though Una’s eyes we see Ahab before the White Whale takes his leg and sends him into madness. Finally, she gives us a new perspective on the American experience, as the widowed Una makes a new life for herself in the company of Margaret Fuller, Frederick Douglass, Emerson and others. Sena Jeter Naslund has thoroughly imbibed the spirit of Herman Melville, and that spirit permeates every scene of her novel. But great as her debt to Melville may be, Ahab’s Wife stands alone, intact and vital. Inspired by a masterpiece, it is a masterwork in its own right.” Read by Maryann Plunkett (a Tony, award for Me and My Girl and also appeared on Broadway in Agnes of God, Sunday in the Park with George, Saint Joan, and The Crucible, She has starred in many TV-movies, series guest-leads, and feature films.
