The Lost Passenger

‘I'm such a fan of Frances Quinn's writing and her third novel certainly doesn't disappoint. Elinor is such a wonderful heroine and I was rooting for her all the way. A thoroughly enjoyable novel about being brave enough to grab hold of a second chance and make the most of it’ -- Louise Hare

‘Frances Quinn is one of my favourite historical fiction novelists and this book may just be her best yet! Quinn writes a multi-layered novel with absolute ease, bringing her characters wonderfully to life. This is a spellbinding tale about Elinor Coombes, so evocative of the Edwardian era, in which the author takes the reader with Elinor on a journey from the suffocating, cold world of aristocratic pre-war England, to the overcrowded maelstrom of Lower East Side New York, and the stark contrast of poverty, hope and love she finds there. The author perfectly captures the terror and tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic without salacious melodrama, and the jeopardy of Elinor as she makes life-altering choices to protect her son and build a new life for them both, is utterly captivating. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!’ -- Louise Fein
