Loved The Lost Passenger, Frances Quinn's latest @franquinn.bsky.social
Can't say too much because of spoilers but Elinor is a feisty FMC who takes the opportunity of the sinking of The Titanic to start a new life for herself & her baby son. #historicalfiction ##bookrecommendation

Surviving the Titanic - Unseen Histories Frances Quinn, author of The Lost Passenger, revisits the catastrophe that befell the Titanic in April 1912.

@franquinn.bsky.social has been drawn back to the tragedy of the Titanic for her new book, The Lost Passenger. Researching it anew she confronted a traumatic event whose effects impacted lives long into the twentieth-century.

Read how on Unseen HistoriesπŸ‘‡

First sight of the US edition of The Lost Passenger in the wild, at Cedar Canoe Books in Muskoka, Ontario (thank you @PaulaJBoon). If anyone sees it in a US bookshop, I’d love a photo

There is a hardback copy of β€˜the lost passenger’ by Frances Quinn which has a dark blue cover and a picture of the Titanic in an oval frame. Next to the book is some publicity information about the book and about the author.

I don’t suppose I’ll write a hundred books (unless there’s a trend for very very short historical fiction, or they figure out the eternal life thing), but even if I could, I don’t think the thrill of seeing a new one for the first time would ever get old. And this is my new one.
