There is no parting - Audrey Howard

When Maris Woodall first meets Callum O'Shaughnessy she is entranced by his very strangeness. Even though they are cousins of a sort by marriage, they have known quite different worlds. Callum, the ninth child of a loving, brawling Irish family, has dragged himself up out the working class to command his own ship by hard work and dediccation. Maris, privileged daughter of an old shipowning family, has grown up with tragedy. But it has not prepared her for something much harder to bear: the determination of her new husband that she should live as a woman from his own background.
