Phoebe Starbuck always follows her fickle father in his latest get rich scheme. However, on her latest birthday, she
decided that she will do what she wants and that is to marry the
illustrious Captain Phineas Foulger and to sail away with him on his
latest adventure. Her father not trusting the intentions of the Captain
gives her daughter a journal from her great grandmother, Mary and
companion for her. Phoebe, however, has little use for both at first, but when she realizes the life at the sea is nothing that she expected she comes to rely on the gifts her father gave her. While reading her great grandmother's journal she comes across a secret that affects everyone on the ship. What is the secret that Mary is keeping? Will Phoebe be able to find happiness while living on the ship?
The novel had an interesting premise about a woman who is traveled the sea with her husband in search of majestic whales. While they were some slow parts to the story, I still felt that the story was interesting especially the historical aspects. I appreciated how detailed the author was and for including a dictionary to help with words used during that time frame. A fun read and I can't wait to read the next installation of this series.
