About this ebook

‘A beautiful, heartbreaking, magical work of exquisite storytelling. Open the door, step inside and prepare to be captivated by all who live there.’ Shari Low, No.1 bestselling authorWhat if another world existed... where the Titanic had never sunk?

When the ill-fated maiden voyage of the Titanic leaves Olivia Davenport orphaned, she’s sent to live with her guardians, the Fairchilds, in their huge Jacobean mansion. But the Fairchilds have more to worry about than a grieving young girl – with war in Europe imminent and four sons to protect.

Olivia feels alone and friendless. Until she hears a voice from behind the wall in her tower bedroom. A voice from a man called Seth. Convinced he’s merely a product of her grieving imagination, it’s not until after the heartbreak of war that Olivia discovers that he exists in an overlapping world, just a shudder in time away from her own. A world where the Titanic never sank... Where everything since has been just slightly... different.

All Olivia wants is to find a way into his reality. And not just to see the faces of her beloved parents once again. But also to meet Seth. Who might just be the love of her life...

An utterly unforgettable romantic historical novel, perfect for reading groups and fans of Titanic and Outlander, from the bestselling author of No. 23, Burlington Square. Perfect for fans of Frances Quinn, Eve Chase and Lucinda Riley.

This fascinating novel is engaging and inventive, with richly developed characters and a heart-wrenching plot. It’s an addictive, unputdownable read. The audiobook narration brings the novel to life beautifully. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
