Distant
Waves
by
Suzanne Weyn
★★★★☆
I
took Emma aside into the hall. “What’s wrong?”
“We’ve
been having bad dreams,” Emma said. “We still think this ship is going to
sink.”
“When?”
We
don’t know. But we have a dream and we are both underwater, floating. Our skin
is blue and our hair floats everywhere around us.
“The
two of you are there?
We’re
not sure. Each of us only sees the other.
Five daughters of a famed clairvoyant arrive
with their mother to a town called Spirit Vale, home to many fortune tellers and
psychics. There, their mother makes a living talking to the spirits of the
dead; however, even she cannot clearly see the future.
It is
not the fate of the Taylors to call Spirit Vale home for long. The society of
the rich appeals to Mimi, and she finds herself unable to resist its call. Emma
and Amelie, the twins, share their mother’s gift of clairvoyance and have
dreams that predict the future in vivid detail, while Jane finds herself in the
midst of a mind-blowing scientific discovery that could possibly alter her
future. Blythe, the youngest, has her mind set on wealth and fame.
All
their destinies converge on the maiden voyage of the Titanic; a beautiful
state-of-the-art cruise ship that everyone believes is unsinkable. To their
dismay, it soon turns into a fight for survival, and the sisters will find that
not everyone will be able to make it through alive. But can love and sisterhood
escape the threat of death?
This
is an ethereal, excellent novel that historical fiction lovers will enjoy. I
would recommend it to readers ages 10 and above. Have fun J
