A sweeping dual-timeline novel from the bestselling author of The Girl from Bletchley Park.
In 1912, as the steamship Carpathia carries the survivors of the Titanic to New York, Lucy embarks on a desperate search for her lost baby, who was thrust into the arms of another woman as a lifeboat left. With nowhere to be found, Lucy turns to Madeleine, a journalist's wife who is helping her husband interview the survivors. Madeleine promises to do everything in her power to help Lucy find her lost child.
Fast forward to 2022, when archivist Jackie discovers a notebook containing the stories of women saved by the Carpathia among an auction lot.
