Ship of Dreams by Donna Jones Alward

 

Aboard the Titanic, where opulence knows no bounds and the horizon seems limitless, two women fight for the futures they dream of, fraught with secrets that could change everything.

Hannah Martin is clinging to the hope that six days on this grand ship will heal the wounds in her marriage to Charles. Beneath her poised exterior lies a desperation to mend what was shattered and conceal a secret that could upend their lives forever.

Louisa Phillips, spirited and uncompromising, is escaping her family’s insistence on a passionless marriage. But this daring step could also sever the deepest bond in her life.

As the ‘unsinkable' ship strikes the iceberg, amidst the chaos and icy waters, lives are changed forever. In the face of impending doom, what dreams will Hannah and Lou decide are worth saving, and at what cost?

My Review

This is such a great story that the author gives us. As we embark on on the notorious ship Titanic, we know from the start what the outcome will be, sadly.
This is a story of love and loss, but there is hope, along with all the sadness. The author had me caring about these people, some are famous, and others we know now.
This is a story of deep friendship, and sharing of deep loss. We know the facts, and some cowardness, and of course greed.
This is also a story of moving on, forgiveness, and being there for one another.
I did love the epilogue!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, and was not required to give a positive review.
