Beschreibung
From the critically-acclaimed author of. The Downstairs Girl. comes the richly imagined story of Valora and Jamie Luck, twin British-Chinese acrobats traveling aboard the. Titanic. on its ill-fated maiden voyage. Southampton, 1912: Seventeen-year-old British-Chinese Valora Luck has quit her job and smuggled herself aboard the Titanic. with two goals in mind: to reunite with her twin brother Jamie-her only family now that both their parents are dead-and to convince a part-owner of the Ringling Brothers Circus to take the twins on as acrobats. Quick-thinking Val talks her way into opulent first-class accommodations and finds Jamie with a group of fellow Chinese laborers in third class. But in the rigidly stratified world of the luxury liner, Val's ruse can only last so long, and after two long years apart, it's unclear if Jamie even wants the life Val proposes. Then, one moonless night in the North Atlantic, the unthinkable happens-the supposedly unsinkable ship is dealt a fatal blow-and Val and her companions suddenly find themselves in a race to survive. Stacey Lee, master of historical fiction, brings a fresh perspective to an infamous tragedy, loosely inspired by the recently uncovered account of six Titanic. survivors of Chinese descent.
