Her father has built the couple a gabled house overlooking the bay, but the gift cannot shelter her from the loneliness of living without her husband.

This book was a great insight to the danger and hardships experienced by the ships of this period, told through a woman's viewpoint. The story starts and ends in New Brunswick, along with the Captain's Wife's wistful thoughts while on their voyages.
