Book Description
In the novel 'Syd Belton: The Boy Who Would Not Go to Sea' by George Manville Fenn, readers are transported to the 19th-century maritime world through the eyes of the titular character, Syd. The book is written in a straightforward and engaging style, filled with vivid descriptions of life at sea and the challenges faced by young sailors. Fenn skillfully weaves elements of adventure, coming-of-age, and moral dilemmas into the narrative, making it a compelling read for both young adult and adult audiences.

Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year “Brilliantly breathes life not only into the perils of living at sea, but also into the hidden dangers of domesticity, parenthood, and marriage. What a smart, swift, and thrilling novel.” —Lauren Groff, author of Florida Juliet is failing to juggle motherhood and her stalled-out dissertation on confessional poetry when her husband, Michael, informs her that he wants to leave his job and buy a sailboat. With their two kids—Sybil, age seven, and George, age two—Juliet and Michael set off for Panama, where their forty-four foot sailboat awaits them. The initial result is transformative; the marriage is given a gust of energy, Juliet emerges from her depression, and the children quickly embrace the joys of being at sea. The vast horizons and isolated islands offer Juliet and Michael reprieve – until they are tested by the unforeseen. A transporting novel about marriage, family and love in a time of unprecedented turmoil, Sea Wife is unforgettable in its power and astonishingly perceptive in its portrayal of optimism, disillusionment, and survival.
