Inspired by true events, the New York Times bestselling novel The Girl Who Came Home is the poignant story of a group of Irish emigrants aboard RMS Titanicâ??a seamless blend of fact and fiction that explores the tragedy's impact and its lasting repercussions on survivors and their descendants.

Ireland, 1912. Fourteen members of a small village set sail on RMS Titanic, hoping to find a better life in America. For seventeen-year-old Maggie Murphy, the journey is bittersweet. Though her future lies in an unknown new place, her heart remains in Ireland with Séamus, the sweetheart she left behind. When disaster strikes, Maggie is one of the lucky few passengers in steerage who survives. Waking up alone in a New York hospital, she vows never to speak of the terror and panic of that terrible night ever again.

Chicago, 1982. Adrift after the death of her father, Grace Butler struggles to decide what comes next. When her Great Nana Maggie shares the painful secret she harbored for almost a lifetime about the Titanic, the revelation gives Grace new directionâ??and leads her and Maggie to unexpected reunions with those they thought lost long a… (plus d'informations)

I've been a bit of a Titanic geek for as long as I can remember--my dad was fascinated by the story, and I was too after the wreckage was found when I was in high school. I'm still intrigued by new and different spins on the disaster, so when I saw this book I knew I had to read it. You don't hear much about the *families* of Titanic victims--what it was like to say goodbye or prepare for arrivals, hearing the first reports of the sinking, waiting for the final list of survivors, etc. I enjoyed that part of this fictional account of the event. I appreciated the glossary of Irish terms/expressions, and that it was necessary--dialogue seemed genuine. As for the rest, I say "meh." The book reads like a first draft in some ways; there is a lot of repetition that a good editor would have cut. With little exception, the characters were not very interesting, but they could've been with a bit more development and better details about the immigrant culture of that era. Readers unfamiliar with Titanic facts will be left wanting more, as this book is pretty much "the ship shook, people panicked, first class was full of dumb jerks, lots of people didn't make it to a lifeboat, sad sad sad." I certainly wouldn't expect a minute-by-minute account of the sinking, which has obviously been written about extensively elsewhere, but it was definitely not given the pages it deserved. Overall, the fictional parts all seemed a bit too tidy in an effort to give the book a happy ending. ( )

Another good book by Hazel Gaynor ( )

I enjoyed this novel based on an actual group of Irish young people from the same village who sailed on the Titanic. Be sure to read the author's information regarding this at the end of the novel. I knew much about the sinking of the ship since I have read a great deal about it, but this novel put a human aspect on it that made it more real and more horrifying. I would recommend reading the book rather than listening to it to see the Marconigrams and other pictures of interest scattered throughout the book. ( )

When Maggie leaves Ireland to begin a new life in New York, she never dreamed her passage in third class on the Titanic would take the turn it did. She left behind her boyfriend, Seamus, as well as her friends and relatives. Told through the time of 1912 and 1982, this beautiful story is haunting and captures everlasting love. I cried...the first book since PRINCE OF TIDES to leave me in tears. ( )

This is the story of Maggie Murphy, a young Irish girl of seventeen, who together with 13 others from her village, embarks on the maiden voyage of Titanic from Ireland to New York. Although a tale of fiction, the narrative is based on the journey of a real group of villagers who embarked on the ill-fated voyage. It is a truly moving and poignant story of adventure, love, loss, and moving on. A great-granddaughter of Maggie, Grace Butler, discovers Maggie's survival story and through her own research and writing, shares Maggie's life, some seventy years later, beginning in 1982. ( )

Never since the dawn of history was such disaster known
Fifteen hundred human bodies on the waste of waters thrown
Ah! The loss of the Titanic is deplored in every clime,
And the story sad recorded even to the end of time.
--From a poem by Mitchell O'Grady,
Connaught Telegraph, May 25, 1912
As the smart ship grew
In stature, grace, and hue
In shadowy silent distance grew the Iceberg too.
--Thmas Hardy, from "The Convergence of the Twain" (Lines on the Loss of Titanic), 1912
