As David’s father, Morris, weakens and wrestles with bitterness and humor, David also faces the emotional shock of what happened to his own marriage. The novel interweaves David, his late son Stephen, and three women—Bessie, Hillary, and Molly—using compassion, humor, sex, and irony to explore family ties and regret.","Annotation  \nThe new novel by the author of the best-selling Love, Dad is a love story, compelling and deeply felt, about a man who comes to terms with his own life and his own marriage through the death of his father. It is the story of David Weber, a successful middle-aged New Yorker, who has flown to Miami to be at his father ’s hospital bedside; the story of the father. Morris, whose lingering illness and failing memory cannot quite drown his wit; the story of David’s own son. Stephen, whose death at a tragically young age has frozen his father ’s heart. It is the story of three women: Bessie, Morris Weber ’s new “friend,” whose existence David never even suspected; Hillary, the leggy Englishwoman David encounters in Miami, who temptshim more strongly than any woman ever has. except his wife; and Molly, David’s wife, at home in New York, wondering as David does what went wrong, what happened to the miracle.  \nAs David’s father lies dying, David’s life takes on an emotional intensity he has never known. Far from the Sea is a novel in which compassion and excitement work hand and hand: a story laced with humor, sex, and irony, rich with the complexities of family ties. It is perhaps the most moving novel Evan Hunter has ever written.  \n Evan Hunter  \n Monday  \n Tuesday  \n Wednesday  \n Thursday  \n Friday  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nEvan Hunter Far From the Sea  \nThis is for my wife—Mary Vann  \nHence in a season of calm weather Though inland far we be,  \nOur souls have sight of that immortal sea Which brought us hither,  \nCan in a moment travel thither,  \nAnd see the children sport upon the shore, And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore.  \n—WILLIAM WORDSWORTH  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nMonday  \nFrom his hotel room he could see the ocean on the east and the bay on the west. The hospital was on the bay side, not very far from the sea. He stayed in the room only long enough to unzip his bag and lay it flat on the bed.  \nIt was stiflingly hot in the street outside.  \nThe cab driver who responded to his hand signal wheeled the taxi uponto the hotel ramp and asked where he was going.  \n“St. Mary’s Hospital,” he said.  \nThe light on the corner took an eternity to change. He looked at his watch. It was ten minutes to three. Visiting hours were at eleven, two, four, and seven — for ten minutes each time. On the telephone last night, the doctor had told him he would leave word to admit him whenever he arrived.“You got somebody in the hospital?” the driver asked.  \n“My father.”  \n“What’s the matter with him?”  \n“He’s sick.”  \n“Well, sure, a hospital,” the driver said, and fell silent for the remainder of the trip.  \nThe receptionist in the main entrance lobby told him what floor Intensive Care was on and then said he could visit at 4:00 p.m. He thanked her and took the elevator up to the third floor. He walked past the nurses’ station opposite the elevators and then followed the signs directing him to Intensive Care. He passed a small waiting room, walked to the end of the corridor, and opened a door. There were overflow beds in the unit’s hallways. A thin, balding man with a mustache was sitting up in one of the beds. Smiling, he began walking toward the man, and suddenly realized it was not his father.  \nA nurse in green tunic and pants approached him.“Can I help you?” she asked.  \n“I’m Morris Weber ’s son,” he said. “I just got here from New York. Dr. Kaplan said he would leave word...”  \n“He’s in five.”  \n“How is he?”  \n“His condition is stable.”  \nHe moved down the hall and stepped into the room he thought she’d indicated. A doctor was examining a woman on the bed. He saw her pale white breasts, her pale white belly, and backed away in embarrassment, out into the corridor again.  \n“I’m sorry,” he said,“what room did you...?”  \n“Number five,” the nurse said.“On your left.”  \n“Thank you.”  \nHis father ’s eyes were closed. There was a tube in his nose. There were tubes taped to his arms.
