SISTERS OF FORTUNE tells the little known story of three sisters aboard the ill-fated maiden voyage of the Titanic. Most readers are well aware of the outcome, since the event continues to capture public interest after all these years. But as with any piece of fiction based on a historical event, a skillful author will parcel out details and paint the event as accurately as possible, through the eyes of her characters, hoping that we will continue to learn from the past. Ms. Huber adroitly pens the helplessness felt by the passengers and crew as they realized that the impossible was happening.I absolutely loved the way author Anna Lee Huber fleshed out the little known details of these real-life women from Canada, grabbing my imagination with the what-might-have-been. The lives of these women reflect the attitudes of the time period. Each is at a turning point in their life, grappling with the path that has been set for them. Adding additional depth to the story, Ms. Huber deftly inserts brief mentions of other well-known passengers. I found this to be a wonderful tribute to Titanic’s unsung heroes whose stories have never been told.**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author/publisher through Netgalley.
