The Second Mrs. Astor by Shana Abe
4.0
Very well written book. I love historical fiction, and learning about people and events in history through the creative tellings of authors.
The Second Mrs. Astor follows the love story of John Jacob Astor and Madeleine Force. Although their love and marriage was a short one, it was strong and full of passion. This book was written from Madeleine's pov as a journal to her son. It followed their love story from start, to tragic end aboard the Titanic.
Before reading this, I had no idea who Jack or Madeleine Astor were, and even decided to watch the scene from Titanic where they were mentioned. Other characters aboard the ship came into the picture as well, and it brought the story to life. There are many Titanic stories out there, but this one focuses on their love and relationship before the Titanic.
