ARC BOOK REVIEW: The Lost Passenger
by Frances Quinn
I adored it. Run, don’t walk, to get a copy. The premise of the book—that a passenger on the Titanic ‘becomes’ a lost passenger was enough to hook me—but this book is so much more. The compelling tale of Elinor Coombs’ road to become a passenger on the Titanic swept me up and I was entirely invested in her survival throughout.
Her role as daughter, wife, and then mother, is riveting. Her strength is inspiring. I was waving the pompoms while she struggled with the multitude of challenges offered by life.
The Titanic portion of the book is actually quite short—which is perfect as there is so much more of Elinor’s life packed into this compelling historical. Pages turn like the wind and it’s very hard to put it down. There are a few spots where I suggest you have a tissue handy.
This is the first Francis Quinn book I’ve read, and I can honestly say I am now an avid fan and will be reading her other two books.
Don’t miss this. Many thanks to @NetGalley and @RandomHouse @BallantineBooks for an advanced reading copy.
