The Lost Passenger
Tricked into a bitterly unhappy aristocratic marriage and powerless to keep her beloved son Teddy from being sent away, Elinor Coombes sees a cold and lonely future ahead. So a present from her father – tickets for the maiden voyage of a luxury liner called the Titanic – seems to offer a brief but welcome escape with Teddy.
When the ship goes down, Elinor realises she can seize the chance to take Teddy and start a new life in America – but only if they disappear completely, listed as among the dead. Penniless and using another woman’s name, she has to learn to survive a world that couldn’t be more different from her own. And when a face from the past appears, she must risk everything to keep her secret - and her son.
An enthralling story about grabbing your chances with both hands, and being brave enough to find out who you really are.
About Frances Quinn
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 novel.
She lives in Brighton, with her husband and two Tonkinese cats.
