One of my favorite books...It's not just about the Titanic but many other things as well. Nikola Tesla, spiritualism, journalism, time travel, just to name a few. Sherlock Holmes and his inventor Arthur Conan Doyle, Colonel Astor, even George Bernard Shaw and Queen Victoria are minor characters.
The story centers around the five Taylor sisters: Mimi, Jane (the narrator,) Emma, Amelie and Blythe, whose mother is a medium. Through many events leading up to this, which take up half the book, all five end up on that "Ship of Dreams", sailing towards a compelling ending.
Okay. That summary was bad. But it's a great book! Historical fiction, a bit of romance, science fiction...the only thing that irks me is the dress on the cover. So not 1912!!! And besides, it isn't the main character who wears a wedding dress!
Ahh! I didn't catch this until now, but I read this last week. You spelled century wrong. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean? I didn't even have the word CENTURY in the post! But wherever it was, bad me! Thanks for noticing it!
