Three females’ stories unravel around the fate of the Cunard Liner the Lusitania. The world’s largest passenger liner in 1915 was travelling from New York to Liverpool. On board in first class was Caroline, and in second class travelled Tess. Caroline is married to industrialist Gilbert who has come into new money. Their marriage is shaky as he spends a lot of time addressing the business concerns. just before departing New York, Caroline meets up with long time friend, :Robert. She feels a spark towards her old friend. As you read the book, the gifts bring to life the gifts Gilbert bestowed to Caroline.
During the story you wonder if Tess and Caroline will meet? What happens to Caroline and Robert? And what is the mystery regarding the waltz composition? Who is after the secrets it contains?
Told at the same time in the present timeline is Sarah’s story, she is uncovering the mystery of the Lusitania after finding a relic of her grandfathers. How does her story link to the other two women? This story is full of intrigue.
The gifts in the subscription all were beautifully wrapped in designs close to the time period in the story. They were labelled with Caroline’s name which made it. I loved the historical fiction, it is hard to believe it was a collaboration between three authors as it was told seamlessly.
