Seasick

Using her signature style of diamond sharp social satire, page-turning action and plot, humor and pathos, Gloria Nagy has written a true tour de force of a novel, set on the perfect metaphorical site; the most lavish cruise ship in the world; a symbol of a world gone mad with excess. The ship, gliding serenely, reveals nothing of the turmoil within and its human cargo, mirroring the deception. Nothing and no one on the Palace of the Dolphins is what it seems, and none of them will return (those who do) unchanged. Gloria Nagy is the author of nine previous books including the N.Y. Times best-seller, A House in the Hamptons. She lives with her husband Richard Saul Wurman in Newport, R.I. They have four children, six grandchildren and three yellow labs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who do not cruise.C Previous praise for Gloria Nagy "Hip, Hilarious, Heartbreaking" Cosmopolitan "Fabulous entertainment...an essential summer read" Kirkus Reviews" A stunning accomplishment... funny and sad, erotic and ultimately very moving" Gael Greene, New York Magazine "Nagy's style is fresh, her pace brisk and her humor delightful."
