Her doctors feel that Annie is now fully recovered, and should return to society and normal everyday life, starting with taking the position she has been offered as a nurse aboard the Britannic, newly refitted as a hospital ship to ferry injured British forces.Īnd so, Annie embarks on her new journey, quickly settling back into life on the ocean, despite her past traumatic experiences at sea and the fact that her nursing duties are so different than the work she used to do. She now remembers her name, the fact that she used to serve as a maid on a passenger liner, and that the ship, Titanic, had struck an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the ocean. For years, Annie Hebbley has been living in an asylum slowly regaining her lost memory. The novel first opens in 1916, as the Great War rages across Europe.
I was a fan of Alma Katsu’s The Hunger, and was excited to hear her next book would be another historical horror, set to the backdrop of the sinking of not one but two great ships-the RMS Titanic and her fleet mate the HMHS Britannic, both of which met tragic fates. This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher.
