The Girl Who Came Home by Hazel Gaynor

5.0

I loved this historical fiction story centered around a Titanic survivor. I was captivated by Maggie's story as she finally opens up to her great-granddaughter about her experiences on the Titanic. We follow a group of 14 who travel from the same town in Ireland to seek a new life in America. There are a few side stories of the loved ones both in America and in Ireland.

I was completely captivated while reading this. I anticipated with hope for a few events to happen and was surprised by others. I shed tears of joy and relief as well as sadness imagining the grief and horror people faced during this time.

I would highly recommend this book to any who are interested in the Titanic story or just love historical fiction.
