Publisher's Summary
Seasickness, a funny tragedy, is a recollection of a happier time as a young doctor when newly employed as a ship’s surgeon on a P&O cruise liner. These memories describe a humorous journey of escapism released by hovering near death after major cardiac surgery. The life on board ship gradually leads to a love affair and finally marriage to a beautiful alcoholic. The flashbacks relate the tragic ending that takes 30 years to reach a conclusion with an embittered death and his continued lack of understanding despite his professional expertise. The flashbacks increase in frequency, intensity, and meaningfulness as the novel progresses.
There is a secondary love affair with the ship itself.
The novel is 120,000 words. There are 11 chapters.
