The Lost Passenger: A Novel by Frances Quinn
Pub date - 2/25/25
Elinor is the only child of a wealthy mill owner, marries a titled man for love only to discover her new husband married her for money. She’s unhappy and becomes even more so when she gives birth to a son who is immediately given to a nanny’s care and she is only permitted to see him for one twenty minute period per day. When she learns he’ll be sent off to boarding school at age 7, and then to Eton, she realizes fully that she has no rights even as a mother.
When a family trip on the Titanic ends in tragedy Elinor is given the opportunity to try to create a new life for herself and her son, if she’s willing to try.
The Lost Passenger was engaging (if fairly predictable), kept my attention, and kept me turning the pages.
I enjoyed this one.
