You do not need Kindle to buy and read the book. Free Kindle apps are available here for Mac, Windows (PC and Phone 7), iPad, iPhone, Android, and Blackberry. There is also a Kindle Cloud Reader that allows you to read Kindle books in your web browser.

Here is Amazon’s Product Description of the book:

“Told through the lens of the sea, each of the book's five sections chronicle the main character's journey away from tumultuous love affairs by weaving stories of her past with stories from literature, music, and visual art of both modern and classical significance.

“After nearly being murdered by a boyfriend, the main character promises herself that she will never let a man abuse her again. She figures that making this change, from dating abusive men to normal ones, should be as easy as flicking off a light switch, but soon finds that even after she's made the conscious decision to no longer involve herself in unhealthy relationships, the rest of her has yet to catch up with that thought. Still caught up in the dramaturgy of her relationships' past, she sets off on an emotional voyage to discover how she ended up on the shores of coastal New England.”

Please buy this book!
