The Mariner's Star is a gripping, dramatic adventure and a mesmeric love story: the last hours of a woman who has lost her husband at sea, and sets out to face her own inevitable death. As storms, shipwrecks and her own buried secrets conspire against her, her chances of surviving for long enough either to kill herself, or to find redemption, begin to grow very slim. This problem, and its solution, makes The Mariner's Star one of the most exciting, moving, and powerful novels you will ever read.
Candida Clark is thirty, and lives in Oxford. She has also written film-scripts, poetry and journalism, and reviews regularly for various newspapers. The Mariner's Star is her third novel.
