For readers of historical romance, migrant tales and family sagas here is another author to look out for.

Patricia Falvey has done sufficient research into the Titanic to paint its architecture and brief social life, together with the dreadful sinking and subsequent rescue, all in vivid descriptions. She brings her own knowledge of Ireland and New York to life, settings familiar to many readers from contemporary novels. Her knowledge of early twentieth century Texas is perhaps the real treat, especially as it focuses on women's experiences.

The Titanic Sisters is a comfortable read with varied settings, plenty of interesting events, character development of the two young sisters, a hint of the paranormal and the expected happy ending.
