"A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck" by Sophie Elmhirst.
"Maurice and Maralyn couldn't be more different. He is as cautious and awkward as she is charismatic and forceful. It seems an unlikely romance, but it works. Bored of 1970s suburban life, Maralyn has an idea- sell the house, build a boat, leave England -- and its oil crisis, industrial strikes and inflation -- forever. It is hard work, but finally they set sail for New Zealand. Then, halfway there, their beloved boat is struck by a whale and the pair are cast adrift in the Pacific Ocean. On their tiny raft, their love is put to the test. When Maurice begins to withdraw into himself, it falls upon Maralyn to keep them both alive." - NoveList Plus
