“The Titanic Sisters” by Patricia Falvey

Two sisters board the “ship of dreams” in April 1912. Only one story will reach the shore the way it began.

Nora and Delia Sweeney grew up on a poor farm in County Donegal, as different as two sisters can be. Nora is tall and dark, proud and restless. Delia is fair, gentle and, by her mother’s measure, always the favorite. When the chance comes to sail on the Titanic and start new lives in New York, both girls see their escape. But old jealousies travel with them. Then comes that terrible night in the North Atlantic, and in the chaos the sisters are torn apart. What follows is a tangle of secrets, borrowed identities and hard choices that carries them from Manhattan to the oil country of Texas.

Falvey was born in Northern Ireland and emigrated to America on her own at twenty, and you can feel that longing for home on every page. Publishers Weekly called this new chapter of Titanic lore well worth plunging into. It’s ideal for readers who love family sagas, Irish heroines and historical fiction with heart.
