by Leah Fleming
This is a
big story. By that I mean it starts in
1912 with the sinking of the Titanic and finishes in 1959. Spanning three generations, the reader is
taken to New York, the historic English cathedral town of Litchfield and the hills of
Tuscany. It has a fast pace, short
chapters and, while it will keep you on the edge of your seat in parts you
might also be moved to tears. I thoroughly
enjoyed this book.
The
characters are many and varied starting with Celeste Parkes and May Smith, two
people from different worlds, their lives forever locked together after they
survive the sinking of the Titanic. Not
only does their experience have far reaching effects for those close to them,
but also for people Celeste and May are not aware of!
With a sprinkling
of love, sadness, happiness, mystery and, of course, history, Leah Fleming has
created a wonderful story.
A great review Jill! I love historical novels and this one certainly tweeks my interest. Will check it out.
