'I absolutely loved The Lost Passenger. I adored the writing style, the characterization and the gripping storyline. Bliss!' Jill Mansell

In the chaos of that terrible night, her secret went down with the Titanic. But secrets have a way of floating to the surface...

Trapped in an unhappy aristocratic marriage, Elinor Coombes sees only lonely days ahead of her. So a present from her father - tickets for the maiden voyage of a huge, luxurious new ship called the Titanic - offers a welcome escape from the cold, controlling atmosphere of her husband's ancestral home, and some precious time with her little son, Teddy.

When the ship goes down, Elinor realises the disaster has given her a chance to take Teddy and start a new life - but only if they can disappear completely, listed as among the dead. Penniless and using another woman's name, she has to learn to survive in a world that couldn't be more different from her own, and keep their secret safe.

An uplifting story about grabbing your chances with both hands, and being brave enough to find out who you really are.

'A compelling, heart-warming novel' Gill Paul

'A powerful and inspiring story' Anna Mazzola

'A beautifully written page-turner' Lila Cain

'Utterly compelling' Essie Fox

'An immersive and intriguing narrative' Hazel Gaynor

'A vivid, compelling and immaculately researched story' Lucy Barker

Über den Autor
Frances Quinn grew up in London and read English at King's College, Cambridge, realising too late that the course would require more than lying around reading novels for three years. After snatching a degree from the jaws of laziness, she became a journalist, writing for magazines including Prima, Good Housekeeping, She, Woman's Weekly and Ideal Home, and later branched out into copywriting, producing words for everything from Waitrose pizza packaging to the EasyJet in-flight brochure. In 2013, she won a place on the Curtis Brown Creative novel writing course, and started work on her first novel, The Smallest Man. That Bonesetter Woman is her second [...] lives in Brighton, with her husband and two Tonkinese cats.
