Summary

A sweeping dual-timeline novel from the bestselling author of The Girl from Bletchley Park.

All she wanted was a child of her own…

1912. As the steamship Carpathia takes the survivors of the Titanic to New York, Lucy desperately searches the decks for her baby, thrust into the arms of another woman as a lifeboat left, and now nowhere to be found. Madeleine is helping her journalist husband to interview the survivors, and when she meets Lucy, she promises she will do anything she can to help her find her lost child.

2022. When archivist Jackie finds a notebook containing the stories of women saved by the Carpathia amongst an auction lot, she learns the story of the missing baby. Desperate to start a family of her own, she feels compelled to dig further. And her search will lead her to a century-old mystery…

Inspired by true events, bestselling author Kathleen McGurl weaves history and fiction together in this captivating, deeply moving story.

Slow and boring.

Sadly I found this book to be totally boring with unlikable characters. The main character and her journalist husband on the ship Carpathia, which rescued the survivors from the Titanic in 1912 were self centred. Their only concern, while on the ship, was to get the big story published before any other journalist.

The 2022 storyline had characters that were dull and uninteresting.

While some authors can at times rush an ending, which can be disappointing, this one dragged on and on and on.

I have really enjoyed other books by this author, sadly this story was very disappointing.

The narrator did an excellent job,.
