"A novel of old New York, of its small town group, family feuds and business competition-a re-creation of the days of the great and beautiful clipper ships, and of the life of the Sea Witch, most beautiful of them all. A novel of the golden age of shipping [between 1846 and 1856] with its arrogant captains and proud craftsmen, of three brothers of violently opposed temperaments, of the love of a woman cutting counter to their loyalty to the sea. The setting swings from New York to China and San Francisco, along the seaways of the world-a drama of love and hate, turning always on the inexorable effect of a jealous ship upon the lives of those who drove her."
