Quick-thinking Val talks her way into opulent first-class accommodations and finds Jamie with a group of fellow Chinese laborers in third class. But in the rigidly stratified world of the luxury liner, Val's ruse can only last so long, and after two long years apart, it's unclear if Jamie even wants the life Val proposes. Then, one moonless night in the North Atlantic, the unthinkable happens--the supposedly unsinkable ship is dealt a fatal blow--and Val and her companions suddenly find themselves in a race to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStacey Lee, master of historical fiction, brings a fresh perspective to an infamous tragedy, loosely inspired by the recently uncovered account of six \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e survivors of Chinese descent.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781524740986\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9781524740986","offer_id":57835500077381,"sku":"9781524740986","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/74827f88-706f-4440-9ac3-9fd1d10d1332.jpg?v=1781324189","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/luck-of-the-titanic-von-stacey-lee","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
