A Marriage At Sea

Recommended by Melinda

in response to Minna Kelly

What are your all-time non-fiction selections? I'm weary of memoirs but maybe I'm missing out on a great one??? I love Patrick Radden Keefe and am not afraid of a 600+ page Guns of August-type moment either, please and thank you.

“One of the most compelling works of nonfiction I’ve ever read that could easily be read in 1-2 sittings. A beautiful love story 🥲 So well researched it feels as though Sophie Elmhurst was there when the ship went down.”

“"...an adrenaline-fueled high seas adventure with a gutting love story that asks why we love difficult people, and who we become under the most extreme conditions imaginable."”
