Mistress Branican: A New Translation

By Jules Verne

A husband lost to the horizon. A woman who refuses to surrender.

In the port of San Diego, 1875, Dolly Branican watches her husband, Captain John Branican, sail toward the North Pacific. He never returns. When a second tragedy strikes closer to home, Dolly is plunged into a world of silence and shadow, her mind fracturing under the weight of unimaginable loss.

But the bonds of love are not so easily severed.

Emerging from years of despair with a singular, iron-willed purpose, Dolly refuses to accept that the sea has claimed her husband forever. Armed with a vast inheritance and an unbreakable spirit, she launches a series of daring expeditions that will take her from the bustling streets of California to the most remote, scorched reaches of the Australian Outback.

In this gripping epic, Jules Verne explores the limits of human endurance. As Dolly battles treacherous terrain, ruthless enemies, and the agonizing passage of fifteen years, she proves that the greatest journeys are not those of discovery, but of rescue.

Mistress Branican is a masterpiece of suspense and soul-a timeless story of a woman who challenged the world to find the man she loved.
