Maggie Murphy leaves Ireland along with her aunt, friends and family on the Titanic She is sad to leave her sweetheart but excited though fearful of the voyage. Her feelings and thoughts are well expressed as she boards and travels on this magnificent ship. The sinking of the ship and loss of those traveling with her are well portrayed. Maggie keeps a private journal during the sailing and carries a bundle of love letters from her sweetheart. These letters were lost when the ship sunk. The stories of some of those waiting for the travelers and hearing the news of the sinking is also included. Seventy years later Maggie tells her story to her great-granddaughter, Grace, a story she refused to discuss before. Grace is looking for a story for her journalism career-what a story this is!
At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to read another book about the Titanic but I really enjoyed it. This book delves so well into the character's personalities, thoughts and feelings. It travels back and forth in time. The audiobook has good narration -we have a copy in book form also.
