Description: The Quadrant is a 3-volume narrative journey set in 19th-century New England and on the high seas. Against the backdrop of conflicting traditions and beliefs, this shared account traces the merger of unlike mariners whose journey ultimately unites their lives and cultures, even as it divides their families and communities. Taking place over many years, and over a wide range of locales--from the underground dance halls of Boston's waterfront to the Romany campsites of North Wales, from the heights of Rio de Janeiro to the beach heads of Anjier--this is a hard-fought victory of human wholeness over social convention, conflicting responsibilities, self-doubt, and separation at sea."--
