Summary
In 1966, Maurice and Maralyn Bailey had been married for three years. They’d bought a house in the suburbs in the middle of England, and had jobs at the tax office and a printing press. “They're living a respectable day-to-day suburban existence — which is kind of driving them both crazy. And one rainy evening, Maralyn just says, ‘You know what? Why don't we sell this house and build a boat and go?’” Sophie Elmhirst's book is A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck. Say hello on Facebook and Instagram.
