ADVANCE PRAISE for The Ghost of the Mary Celeste:

The Ghost of the Mary Celeste is a wonderfully ingenious novel, compelling, convincing and exciting. – John Banville

Valerie Martin is a writer of immense talent and insight. Her latest novel weaves a beautiful tale of loss, love and the connections that link us. One moment we’re aboard the doomed ship, another we’re in the pages of a diary, yet another we’re looking out the window at a tragedy. The Ghost of the Mary Celeste offers readers a riveting cast and evocative prose. – Yann Martel

Valerie Martin has written a splendid, mysterious and beautiful new novel, The Ghost of the Mary Celeste. She writes about great ocean voyages and storms that tear apart both ships and hearts. She tells a seafaring tale in the tradition of Melville, and conjures up a mystery worthy of Arthur Conan Doyle, who actually appears as a character and plays a vital role. She writes about spiritualism with both clarity and skepticism, and in Violet Petra she has created a woman for the ages. —Pat Conroy
