Renowned author Michael Shelden sheds light on a story of Herman Melville's passionate, obsessive, and clandestine affair with a married woman named Sarah Morewood. Emboldened by the thrill of courting Sarah in secret and the excitement of spending time with literary luminaries-like Holmes and Hawthorne, Melville took the leap from light works to the brilliant, utterly subversive Moby-Dick.
