The five Taylor sisters live with their mother in Spirit Vale where she works as a medium who speaks to dead people. The older sisters, Mimi and Jane, have long doubted their mother’s clairvoyance abilities, but their younger sisters all seem to believe. The twins even seem to have a special gift of their own. When their fates all collide together on the Titanic’s maiden voyage, Jane becomes worried when her twin sisters show fear that something bad will befall the ship. Can all of the sisters survive one of the world’s most famous disasters?
This story weaves true and false facts about the Titanic’s famous fall. The introduction of the Taylor sisters adds a bit of intrigue as they explore the very popular trend of clairvoyance for the time. Famous faces make appearances throughout the story and are fun for reader’s to identify. The motivations of the five sisters are all clear and justified as they each try to find their own way in this world, but the ending is unexpected and not everyone makes it to New York. Recommended to fans of historical fiction and the Titanic.
I read this book for school about two years ago, and I think that it is worth reading.
