As I have always been interested in the stories of the Titanic this book appealed imminently to me, and I wasn't disappointed. Patricia Falvey really has researched well, and through her own travels from Ireland to America seems captured in this beautiful and captivating novel.
Based between fact and fiction, this easy flowing story, told through the eyes of each sibling, which works really well, is based on the fictional lives of two Irish sisters who don't see eye-to-eye, and their travels for a possible better life and a new beginning in America.
There are character's you'll love, and some not so much, but they are all very well laid out.
Obviously we all know what happened to the Titanic on that fateful night, but this story is not just a journey of the Titanic but a journey of hope and aspirations, kindness and asperities, honour and distrust and of love and betrayal.
The Titanic Sister's is a beautifully written book that I didn't want to end, and one that will stay with me long after reading.
I did notice on page 255 double sentences and some spacing errors here and there, but I'm sure that this would have been corrected in the final edit.
