Synopsis:
To go to America on the Titanic is to start a whole new life. America, a place where you can be someone without any links. It's a place of new beginnings. So for May it is the start of a life changing journey, coming aboard the Titanic with her husband and daughter.
And then there's Celeste, heading back to America from her mother's funeral and questions about why no one has yet to meet her son... the two women meet when the worst happens and the Titanic hits an iceberg. May get's seperated and later the captain gives her a baby she believes to be hers... the story of these two women that follows is one of a lifetime...
Thank you to Simon and Schuster for this review copy!
What I thought:
The Captain's Daughter is a most interesting story- I loved the sound of it but in the end I was more attracted to the synopsis then the actual story. I couldn't get into the story properly and got easily distracted when reading it; the storyline dragged a bit and then sped up a bit at times, but overall I didn't enjoy it. The writing of Leah Fleming was very hard for me to enjoy and get lost in.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend it to people I knew liked this kind of story and who I knew liked the writing style, but equally I wouldn't recommend it to a lot of people. It's the kind of book, I think, that will suit as many as it will not...
The story of two women and a lifetime of change is one to try and see if you like... you'll either be captured or disappointed, but it's for you to find out which!

Also, I've been putting Word Verification on and off and it's currently on because I turned it off on a friday and had seven spam comments on a Monday which is not good.
