Sisters of Fortune: A Riveting Historical Novel of the Titanic Based on True History Kindle Edition

Readers of The Second Mrs. Astor by Shana Abé will be captivated as the USA Today bestselling author expertly weaves real historical figures and events into this vivid, surprising, emotionally powerful novel about longing for independence and love—and the moments that irrevocably change even the best laid plans. Based on the true story of the Fortune sisters, three young women each at a crossroads when they boarded the RMS Titanic in the spring of 1912 –and how that maiden voyage would transform their lives in profound and unexpected ways.

“Lush with sumptuous historical details and riveting as the events of that fateful voyage unfurl, readers will love this one!” —Madeline Martin, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Keeper of Hidden Books and The Last Bookshop in London

April,1912: It’s the perfect finale to a Grand Tour of Europe—sailing home on the largest, most luxurious ocean liner ever built. For the Fortune sisters, the voyage offers a chance to reflect on the treasures of the past they’ve seen—magnificent castles and museums in Italy and France, the ruins of Greece and the Middle East—and contemplate the futures that await them.

For Alice, there’s foreboding mixed with her excitement. A fortune teller in Egypt gave her a dire warning about traveling at sea. And the freedom she has enjoyed on her travels contrasts with her fiancé’s plans for her return—a cossetted existence she’s no longer sure she wants.

Flora is also returning to a fiancé, a well-to-do banker of whom her parents heartily approve, as befits their most dutiful daughter. Yet the closer the wedding looms, the less sure Flora feels. Another man—charming, exasperating, completely unsuitable—occupies her thoughts, daring her to follow her own desires rather than settling for the wishes of others.

Youngest sister Mabel knows her parents arranged this Grand Tour to separate her from a jazz musician. But the secret truth is that Mabel has little interest in marrying at all, preferring to explore ideas of suffrage and reform—even if it forces a rift with her family.

Each sister grapples with the choices before her as the grand vessel glides through the Atlantic waters. Until, on an infamous night, fate intervenes, forever altering their lives . . .
 
“Filled with luscious detail of the Titanic’s maiden voyage and spot on depictions of its many passengers…absolutely riveting until the very last page!”—Shelley Noble, New York Times Bestselling author of The Tiffany Girls
“Vividly detailed and painstakingly researched, Sisters of Fortune threads fact and fiction into a compelling story.” —Bryn Turnbull, author of The Paris Deception and The Woman Before Wallis

Praise for SISTERS OF FORTUNE by Anna Lee Huber
 
“Filled with luscious detail of the Titanic’s maiden voyage and spot on depictions of its many passengers, from the grand to the ridiculous. I felt an immediate empathy for the three young women whose life choices are challenged in the most unimaginable way. With the Titanic’s fate looming, Huber’s compelling narrative propelled me through the story, absolutely riveting until the very last page!” —Shelley Noble, New York Times Bestselling author of The Tiffany Girls
 
“Vibrant personalities collide on board a ship bound for certain disaster in [this] heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful story of a real-life Canadian family traveling on board the Titanic. Vividly detailed and painstakingly researched, SISTERS OF FORTUNE threads fact and fiction into a compelling story.” —Bryn Turnbull, author of The Paris Deception and The Woman Before Wallis
 
"Set against the heartbreaking grandeur of the Titanic’s fateful maiden voyage, Anna Lee Huber’s Sisters of Fortune is a beautifully-crafted—and ultimately uplifting—tale of three young women struggling with the personal complexities of love, loyalty and family as their world is about to change forever." —Andrea Penrose, nationally bestselling author of The Diamond of London

"Just finished...and LOVED IT. Historically rich and powerfully eloquent, Sisters of Fortune is an elegantly told tale of three strong and wholly unique Canadian sisters whose lives are changed forever during an ill-fated voyage on the Titanic. Anna Lee Huber’s writing is masterful, conjuring both the hopefulness and the tragedy of the past with profound sensitivity. The fate of the doomed luxury liner may be a foregone conclusion, but that doesn’t hinder the suspense of the story. I was held spellbound until the very last page. A spectacular read!" —Mimi Matthews, USA Today Bestselling Author of The Siren of Sussex

"I loved it! A fascinating and intimate look at life aboard the Titanic, portraying real people whose lives were so devastatingly impacted. Lush with sumptuous historical details and riveting as the events of that fateful voyage unfurl, readers will love this one!” —Madeline Martin, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Keeper of Hidden Books and The Last Bookshop in London --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Thank you @kensingtonbooks and @netgalley for my complimentary copy. My thoughts are my own.Historical romance readers will adore this Titanic love story by Anna Lee Huber. The story follows three real life young women who traveled across the ocean with their parents and friends aboard the Titanic. The Fortune family routinely traveled in upper class circles and knew many of their fellow passengers.The Fortune women were sisters. I enjoyed each of their story lines, as well as the glimpses of other passengers and the details about the ship and the lavish decor. The tale was emotional; and even though a helpful cast list was provided at the beginning of the story, I did not allow myself to look up the fate of the family and friends in the Fortune circle, because I wanted to let the book unfold as it happened in life. The author’s note also provided interesting details, but don’t read it until the end! All in all, this was a fascinating story and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Sisters of Fortune by Anna Lee Huber is simply the best account of the Titanic disaster I have ever read. Even though knowing the history of the events, it was a page turner to beat all. It provides a bit of joy in the outcome for some of the survivors and their loved ones. I simply love and adore this book and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical novels. Bravo Anna Lee! I am ready to read another of your collection.

Not an absolute page-turner but definitely keeps your interest. Bear in mind tho that altho it's very well researched which adds to its believability, this is definitely a romance. My only objection is a personal belief that's it's wrong to use actual people's names and identities upon which to create a novel. The same result could have been achieved easily by the author creating her own set of characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars The ending is worth the slow beginning!
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2024
April, 1912: The largest, most luxurious ocean liner ever built, set sail for it's fateful maiden voyage- forever changing the lives of all 2,240 people on board.

Most everyone knows the tragic history of the RMS Titanic. But how much do you know about the passengers that were on board? This book is based on the true story of the Fortune sisters, Alice, Flora & Mabel, and their pilgrimage across the Atlantic on that infamous journey.

I found the first two-thirds of the book to be extremely boring and slow. I also feel like there were WAY too many characters to ever really get a chance to truly get to know and understand them. It seemed like the author was trying to fill the book with as many actual historical figures that were on the Titanic as possible. While I appreciate including some of the more well-known passengers (Isador & Ida Strauss, The Unsinkable Molly Brown), it may have been better to just leave it at them. Or maybe even just briefly mention them, but then focus more on the others instead. It was just too much to include them all.

The final third of the book however, was amazing. Once the Titanic hits the iceberg, the story really picks up and I had a hard time putting the book down. Although I knew the fate of the ship, it was still heartbreaking to read and I couldn't wait to find out the fate of the main characters. Excellent story telling!

If you're finding it difficult to get through the beginning, don't give up! The ending is worth the ride.
