The Titanic Sisters

A Novel

By: Patricia Falvey

Narrated by: Esther Wane

Delia Sweeney has always been unlike her older sister - fair and delicate compared to tall, statuesque Nora, whose hair is as dark as Donegal turf. In other ways, too, the sisters are leagues apart. Nora is her mother's darling, favored at every turn, and expected to marry into wealth. Delia, constantly slighted, finds a measure of happiness helping her da on the farm. The rest of the time, she reads about far-off places that seem sure to remain a fantasy. Until the day a letter arrives from America....

A distant relative has provided the means for Delia and Nora to go to New York. Delia will be a lowly maid in a modest household, while Nora will be governess for a well-to-do family. In Queenstown, Cork, they board the Titanic, and any hope Delia carried that she and her sister might become closer during the trip soon vanishes. For there are far greater perils to contend with as the ship makes its way across the Atlantic....

In the wake of that fateful journey, Delia makes an impulsive choice - and takes Nora's place as governess. Her decision sparks an adventure that leads her from Fifth Avenue to Dallas, Texas. Delia grows close to her vulnerable young charge, and to the girl's father. But her deception will have repercussions impossible to foresee, even as it brings happiness within reach for the first time....

Lovely take

The journey throughout this book was both captivating and thrilling! Loved where the author painted the journey through the eyes of the two sisters. Highly Recommend

Captivating

A very charming story that keeps you interested to the very end. Makes one wonder if a similar situation may have happened to any of the Titanic survivors.

Loved it!

Great Story! The author has a knack for creative writing. Kept me captivated throughout the entire book.

Great book

I really enjoyed the book and the part that the sisters were Catholic. Just set it in for me too.

It was amazing to see the disaster of the Titanic through the "eyes" of a survivor.

I enjoyed listening to the journey & evolution of the sisters story. The writing brought to life a time in history that not many people knew about.
