I loved The Bonesetter Woman so I was excited to read Fran's latest book. I absolutely loved this story and couldn't put it down.
Elinor was such a brilliant character, and I could hardly believe the circumstances she found herself in following what she believed to be a marriage of love to Frederick. It was so frustrating to see how powerless she was against the aristocratic family she married into.
I loved Elinor's resilience and determination to be with her son. The backdrop of the Titanic was fascinating and heartbreaking to read. The family in New York were brilliant, and I loved all of the different characters that Elinor met in her new life. The way Elinor built a new life for herself in New York through the fashion industry and the street carts was fascinating!
The novel is clearly meticulously researched, and this comes through in all the details of the story.
Overall, this is a heartwarming story of a mother's love as well as of family and friendship. If you like historical fiction, I highly recommend this book.
