Eyes of the Amaryllis (Turtleback School & Library) | Natalie Babbitt

3 posts | 3 read

When the brig Amaryllis was swallowed in a hurricane, the captain and all the crew were swallowed, too. For thirty years the captain's widow, Geneva Reade, has waited, certain that her husband will send her a message from the bottom of the sea. But someone else is waiting, too, and watching her, a man called Seward. Into this haunted situation comes Jenny, the widow's granddaughter. The three of them, Gran, Jenny, and Seward, are drawn into a kind of deadly game with one another and with the sea, a game that only the sea knows how to win.

The Eyes of the Amaryllis | Natalie Babbitt

pick

I found this book among my mother‘s library and picked it up because my own amaryllis just finished its annual bloom. It‘s a haunting story of love lost in this life but still around, things that can‘t be explained, and not forgetting to look around at what you do have. Powerful message and memorable vision of the sea.
