About this book
The End of a Coil by Susan Warner invites listeners into a richly drawn Victorian tale where family, faith, and the sea collide in a moving coming-of-age story. Set in 19th-century America and sweeping across European ports, Warner’s fiction blends teen/young adult sensitivity with religious reflection and authentic sea stories detail drawn from true events.
Follow young protagonists as domestic life in Walnut Street gives way to voyages aboard the Achilles, encounters in London and Venice, and quiet moral reckonings beneath an old oak. Warner’s careful realism and moral imagination explore duty, friendship, and the costs of growth without ever trading sentiment for simplicity. Themes of faith and perseverance are woven through everyday drama, lively travel episodes, and the textured social world of the era.
Perfect for listeners who love classic fiction, historical coming-of-age stories, and maritime adventures with spiritual depth, The End of a Coil rewards patient listening with evocative period atmosphere and sober, compassionate insight. Fans of Susan Warner’s gentle moral fiction and anyone seeking a thoughtful sea story steeped in Victorian sensibility will find much to admire.
