With this week marking the 101st anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, I’d like to feature a captivating novel I read this last year about this historical event—Titanic: Legacy of Betrayal by Kathleen E. Kovach and Paula Moldenhauer.

This riveting novel captured my curiosity within the first few pages as morsels of a mystery about Olive Stanford and her hundred-year-old secret are revealed. With a cast of interesting characters, a fascinating historical setting, and masterful storytelling, this book intrigued and entertained me from cover to cover. My emotions ran the gamut with the twists and turns that unraveled throughout this book. And the finale was top notch. I found myself pondering on it days after I finished the book (which for me is the hallmark of an excellent novel).

I highly recommend this novel, especially to readers who enjoy historical novels.

    • Oh Paula, it’s my pleasure! I loved this book! Last night, I was rereading some sections in it and they were so good, especially the ending. You and Kathy did a phenomenal job with this novel. :0)

  1. I’ve always been fascinated by the Titanic. Thanks for the book recommendation. I’ll definitely be picking it up (if I don’t win it, haha).

  2. I have been fascinated with the story of RMS Titanic for years. I think I checked Walter Lord’s A Night to Remember out of the school library at least a dozen times.

    I alteady have the book on Kindle, but I would not mind winning a print copy to donate to my public library.
