Description
The vintage 1950s ocean liner Queen Isabella is making her final voyage. For the guests--among them Christine Thorne, a journalist turned Maine farmer--it's a chance to experience bygone mid-20th-century decadence, complete with fine dining, classic highballs, string quartets, and sophisticated jazz. The Isabella sets sail from Long Beach, CA into calm seas on a two-week cruise to Hawaii. But this is the second decade of an uncertain new millennium, not the sunny, heedless fifties, and certain disquieting signs of strife and malfunction, above and below decks, intrude. Down in the galley, Mick Szabo, a battle-weary Hungarian executive sous-chef, watches escalating tensions among the crew. Meanwhile, Miriam Koslow, an elderly Israeli violinist, becomes increasingly aware of the age-related vulnerabilities of the ship itself and the corners cut by the cruise company. When a time of crisis begins, Christine, Mick, and Miriam find themselves facing the unknown together in a startling test of character.
