Best-selling historical novelist Lauren Chater speaks with Kathryn Ryan about re-imagining Gulliver's long-suffering wife, Mary, who made her own luck while he was in Lilliput. In what could be described as a sequel to Swift's classic Gulliver's Travels, Lauren brings to life the experiences of 18th century women whose husbands were prone to taking off on years' long fantastic journeys overseas. In Lauren's version Gulliver is presumed dead but returns full of tales of being tied down by little people. Worse, his reappearance threatens Mary's newly-found independence.

When her husband is lost at sea, Mary Burton Gulliver, midwife and herbalist, is forced to rebuild her life without him.

In a climate of desperate poverty and violence, Mary is caught in a crossfire of suspicion and fear driven by her husband’s outlandish claims, and it is up to her to navigate a passage to safety for herself and her daughter, and the vulnerable women in her care. When a fellow sailor, a dangerous man with nothing to lose, appears to hold sway over her husband, Mary’s world descends deeper into chaos, and she must set out on her own journey to discover the truth of Gulliver’s travels . . . and the landscape of her own heart.
