I loved the premise of this one, but unfortunately, I had issues with the pacing. Elinor Coombes is trapped in a loveless marriage and pretends that she died on the sinking of the Titanic in order to start a new life in New York. After reading a decent amount of the book and listening to Elinor complain about how terrible her life is, I got impatient about her actually getting on the Titanic. After reading some reviews, it seems like it doesn't happen until about midway through and although the book picks up, I'm not willing to wait around until then. I wish the parts about her marriage had been interspersed throughout the book instead of the beginning.

I have another book, The Bonesetter Woman, but the same author so I am willing to give her another chance!
