Atlantic Affair

Meer over het boek

In 1930, Irish yachtsman Otway Waller invents the 'running sails' which enables his 26ft yawl to self-steer for days before the wind in his epic single-handed Atlantic voyage. He recalls his courtship to an Englishwoman and returns to face a divorce, the split in his family and community, the torching of his house and being forced out of Ireland.
