'Gripping ... An epic adventure' ROSIE GOODWIN
_____________________

Nice, France, 1911: After three years of marriage, young seamstress Marcella Caretto has finally had enough. Her husband, Michael, an ambitious tailor, has become cruel and controlling and she determines to get a divorce.

But while awaiting the judges’ decision on the custody of their two small boys, Michael receives news that changes everything.

Meanwhile fun-loving New York socialite Margaret Hays is touring Europe with some friends. Restless, she resolves to head home aboard the most celebrated steamer in the world – RMS Titanic.

As the ship sets sail for America, carrying two infants bearing false names, the paths of Marcella, Michael and Margaret cross – and nothing will ever be the same again.

From the Sunday Times-bestselling author, Celia Imrie, Orphans of the Storm dives into the waters of the past to unearth a sweeping, epic tale of the sinking of the Titanic that radiates with humanity and hums with life.©2021 Celia Imrie (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Narrativa di genere Narrativa femminile Narrativa storica Vita familiare

Recensioni della critica

Gripping ... An epic adventure (ROSIE GOODWIN)
Smashing ... It would be fair to say that I was hooked on page one and literally could not put it down. I loved all that she wrote about the true story behind this thrilling tale (JOANNA LUMLEY)
Gripping … A moving tale of courage, survival and maternal love
A heart-wrenching journey that breathes new life and humanity into the tragic sinking of the Titanic
A gripping read … The novel races towards a beautiful and poignant conclusion … The emotional draw to the character of Marcella keeps the reader invested throughout
[An] epic tale … An engrossing historical saga with great period detail, especially about the Titanic
With such historical depth that takes your breath away, Imrie is both a star on the page and on the screen …. Atmospheric and utterly addictive
Set against the backdrop of the sinking of the Titanic, it will haunt long after the last page is turned
Engaging … Casts vivid light on a little-known chapter of the tragic voyage
The fate of the Titanic is well-known, but Imrie’s meticulously researched and well-plotted historical novel takes a closer look at the lives of the two young boys rescued from the wreckage ... Fans of Lynda Rutledge, Christina Clancy, and Melissa Payne will be enthralled as Imrie follows a family on the brink of disaster
The writing flows and readers will be swept away

A very witty novel by a very witty woman. Hugely entertaining (Julian Fellowes)
A keenly observed, rollicking tale
Wonderful and very amusing (Helen Lederer)
Forget the cruise. Grab Imrie's novel and have twice as much fun (Hilary Boyd)
Anything written by Celia Imrie is guaranteed to put a smile on our faces
A hugely enjoyable romp of a novel with eccentric characters, a delightful background and a savoury tang of crime (Katie Fforde)
