The Voyage
by Philip Caputo
Review this book!
On a summer morning at the turn of the 20th century, three teenage boys are sent away from home in a sailboat by their enigmatic father. The boys encounter all the traditional seafaring evils--fog, storms, sharks--and more, including a colorful array of seedy characters and a devastating hurricane that leads to a tense and fascinating dénouement. Many years later, Sybil, their descendant, researches the story and finally comes up with an explanation for this mysterious event in her family's history.
Caputo's novel details both the boys' journey, which proceeds along the American east coast to Cuba, and Sybil's quest for the truth behind it.

Publisher Notes
At the turn of the century, three teenage boys leave their Maine home at the orders of their father, Cyrus Braithwaite, and embark on the voyage of a lifetime down the Atlantic coast, an adventure that years later reveals remarkable truths about the Braithwaite family to Cyrus's great-granddaughter.
Media Reviews
"The spirit of Joseph Conrad, evoked explicitly in this novel's epigraph..., haunts Philip Caputo's adventure-filled sea story....Caputo, always a thoughtful, intelligent writer, has clearly researched his subject thoroughly and worked hard to integrate this haunted family's past and present."
First Line
The sea was gray that morning, and as smooth as the surface of an eye.
