Book Description
"Forty years ago I first linked up with Unguentine and we made love on twin-hulled catamarans, sails a-billow, bless the seas..." So begins the courtship of a certain Unguentine to the woman we know only as "Mrs. Unguentine," the chronicler of their sad, fantastical tale. For forty years, they sail the seas together, alone on a giant land-covered barge of their own devising. They tend their gardens, raise a child, invent an artificial forest--all the while steering clear of civilization. "Log of the S.S. The Mrs. Unguentine" is a masterpiece of modern domestic life, a comic novel of closeness and difficulty, miscommunication and stubborn resolve. Rarely has a book so perfectly registered the secret solitude of marriage, how shared loneliness can result in a powerful bond.

The Travel Notes of a Not so Young Woman Exploring Europe and the Oceans Alone
Author: Tamara Gurvits
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1984527436
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
In this book, the author shares her experience and observations while traveling alone in England and Europe. Having the experience of living in three countries—the former USSR, Israel, and the United States—the author is more apt to see differences in the new places that she encounters. It appears that food is the most memorable topic. The author has made a few trips to England, France, and Holland. She has been to Switzerland and Belgium as well. Also, she traveled around Europe by transatlantic and river cruises. After moving to Florida, she took two Caribbean cruises. Her travels gave her great pleasure, and they were uplifting. Upon her return, it was easier for her to take everyday obligations, especially when planning and dreaming about the next trip.
