Awesome book

I patiently waited for five years for this book to be completed, after the author came to our local Chapters to do a reading from another book she had out. She told us she was working on a new book, about a woman in the 1860's who goes to sea.

It's really, really good. Some of the descriptions, especially of the rotting food and the lack of hygiene on board, made my skin crawl.
