I like it, and it's one of my husband's favorites. <br /><br />You should read Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naslund. She takes a brief passage from Moby Dick and creates whole life story for the young woman Ahab married. It's wonderful!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-53389647248472492432015-10-31T11:37:30.020-04:002015-10-31T11:37:30.020-04:00I am not a fan of ghost stories.
