It is apparent within a couple pages that the setting of the book is going to be the Titanic. Historical drama - great!! Love it!! Then 1/4 of the way into the book, everyone's already in the water. Yikes - where's this going now?
Actually it goes to the New York fashion world. Talented, but dirt poor seamstress escapes England to pursue her dream of working in the house of a famous fashion designer. Coincidental acquaintences lead her into romance, intrigue, duplicity.
Involving several real life historical figures who actually were on the Titanic - ie: Molly Brown - the story weaves some of their history into the narrative. Rigid pretentious class system clashes with realistic working class morals.
