The Lost Passenger: A Novel

An immersive historical drama about a young mother who starts a new life with her son in New York after faking their deaths on the Titanic--the U.S. debut of acclaimed British novelist Frances Quinn."A compelling examination of the cost of dreams, delusions of the heart, and the unbreakable bond of mother and child."--Shana Abé, author of The Second Mrs. Astor   Sometimes it takes a disaster to change your life.   Marrying above your social class can come with unexpected consequences, as Elinor Coombes discovers when she is swept into a fairy-tale marriage with the son of English aristocrats. But she realizes too late that it was the appeal of her father's hard-earned wealth rather than her own pretty face that attracted her new husband and his family. Ground down by rigid social rules that include her being allowed to see her nanny-raised infant son for only moments each day, Elinor faces a lonely future. But a present from her father--tickets for the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic,
