I've never read Moby Dick, but after reading Ahab's Wife, I want to.

Naslund's writing is beautiful, lyrical. Her characters, especially Una, are completely realized and interesting. Parts of the story were difficult to get through, but I wanted to keep reading because I was so invested in the story that Una tells. It's a story full of adventure, romance, coming of age, and even some transcendentalism. Very enjoyable!
