Bloomsbury presents Orphans of the Storm written and read by Celia Imrie.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

‘Smashing ... I was hooked on page one and literally could not put it down. I loved all that she wrote about the true story behind this thrilling tale’ JOANNA LUMLEY

'Gripping ... An epic adventure' ROSIE GOODWIN
_____________________

Nice, France, 1911: After three years of marriage, young seamstress Marcella Caretto has finally had enough. Her husband, Michael, an ambitious tailor, has become cruel and controlling and she determines to get a divorce.

But while awaiting the judges’ decision on the custody of their two small boys, Michael receives news that changes everything.

Meanwhile fun-loving New York socialite Margaret Hays is touring Europe with some friends. Restless, she resolves to head home aboard the most celebrated steamer in the world – RMS Titanic.

As the ship sets sail for America, carrying two infants bearing false names, the paths of Marcella, Michael and Margaret cross – and nothing will ever be the same again.

From the Sunday Times-bestselling author, Celia Imrie, Orphans of the Storm dives into the waters of the past to unearth a sweeping, epic tale of the sinking of the Titanic that radiates with humanity and hums with life.

Gripping ... An epic adventure Smashing ... It would be fair to say that I was hooked on page one and literally could not put it down. I loved all that she wrote about the true story behind this thrilling tale Gripping … A moving tale of courage, survival and maternal love A heart-wrenching journey that breathes new life and humanity into the tragic sinking of the Titanic A gripping read … The novel races towards a beautiful and poignant conclusion … The emotional draw to the character of Marcella keeps the reader invested throughout [An] epic tale … An engrossing historical saga with great period detail, especially about the Titanic With such historical depth that takes your breath away, Imrie is both a star on the page and on the screen …. Atmospheric and utterly addictive Set against the backdrop of the sinking of the Titanic, it will haunt long after the last page is turned Engaging … Casts vivid light on a little-known chapter of the tragic voyage The fate of the Titanic is well-known, but Imrie’s meticulously researched and well-plotted historical novel takes a closer look at the lives of the two young boys rescued from the wreckage ... Fans of Lynda Rutledge, Christina Clancy, and Melissa Payne will be enthralled as Imrie follows a family on the brink of disaster The writing flows and readers will be swept away Praise for Celia Imrie: Utterly delicious in every way A very witty novel by a very witty woman. Hugely entertaining A keenly observed, rollicking tale Wonderful and very amusing Forget the cruise. Grab Imrie's novel and have twice as much fun Anything written by Celia Imrie is guaranteed to put a smile on our faces A hugely enjoyable romp of a novel with eccentric characters, a delightful background and a savoury tang of crime Celia Imrie reveals a whole new talent in this irresistible murder mystery caper, packed with wonderful characters that will grip you to the last glorious page Expand reviews
