Lots of sad moments in this story.  I had hoped it would be similar to some of the romance novels my grandma read back in the 70s (and that I read, too! haha!)  where the macho man steals the beautiful, but feisty heroine away until she comes to her senses and falls for him (or she would run away and then run back to him).  Those books were extremely fun to make fun of, but had a way of pulling at your emotions.  Thanks to our more modern views of women, I haven't run across as many villainous lechers who steal women from their homes in romance novels.  It is probably a good thing.  I would like to see a story where a woman steals a man from his home until he comes to his senses!  I know, two wrongs don' make a right.  Anyway, this book is actually quite heartwarming and sweet.  All the villainous behavior is, sadly, justified by the weather or danger and the two do manage to survive the treacherous seas of love together.
