A review by biblioph1le
Atlantic Black by A.S. Patric

4.0

It is the eve of 1939. Europe is about to explode into another big war and a mother and daughter are on board the Aquitania returning from South America against the advice of the husband/father. The mother is slightly deranged and the daughter is a precocious 17 year old who has probably seen too much for her tender age. We see a snapshot of their life over a 24 hour(ish) period with many references to what has gone before. No chick-lit novel, this one! A little challenging but somewhat intriguing. Survived to the end at 280 pages.
