BLACK WAVE A Family’s Adventure at Sea and the Disaster That Saved Them

by | Read by Carrington MacDuffie, Joe Barrett

Contemporary Culture • 7.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2008

A two-year sailing trip for John and Jean Silverwood and their four children ends when they crash into a coral reef in the Pacific Ocean and are stranded. They have survived pirates, storms, and family arguments. Ironically, their boat's destruction brings them closer. Carrington MacDuffie expresses Jean’s excitement at global scenic spots, her pride in son Ben's growing maturity, and her disappointment at her husband’s slips from sobriety. Joe Barrett, as John, picks up the story with the aftermath of the crash, the amputation of his leg, and the story of an 1857 wreck on the same reef. Husky-voiced and volatile, John is obviously the more emotional of the two parents. Both narrators deliver foreign accents well, and their dual reading makes this loosely organized adventure tale special.
