by Jane Louise Newhagen (Author)
Chambered Nautilus explores the themes of love, family, and the ways we are dishonest with ourselves and others. It is a historical novel that takes place in Key West, Florida in the decades surrounding the turn of the 20th century. Sarah Sawyer, an orphan raised by her aunt, fulfills her dreams of becoming a painter and marrying a handsome husband to generously provide for her. Her good fortune is seemingly consumed along with much of the city by the Great Fire of 1886 and Sarah again fends for herself as she provides for her daughter and the foundling girl who is abandoned in her care. With Chambered Nautilus, Jane Louise Newhagen has created yet another spellbinding novel that weaves together the realities of life in Key West, Florida at the turn of the 20th Century and a fictional story that you won't want to put down.
