April 1912. Twelve-year-old Harp Delaney is an unusual child, quiet and intelligent far beyond her years. She would rather spend her days in the library of the grand Georgian house that she sees as her home than playing on the streets with other children. Her mother, Rose, is the reserved and ladylike housekeeper at the Cliff House. The local women envy her grace and poise while the men admire her beauty. She behaves not as a servant should, but as someone who belongs at the ancestral home of eccentric loner Henry Devereaux. Nobody ever visits the Cliff House, but Harp, Rose and Henry have a happy life together, each accepting the idiosyncrasies of the others. The day Titanic sails from Queenstown, taking with it the hopes and dreams of so many, Harp's life too is devastated. The small port town is shaken to its foundations at the loss of the unsinkable ship, but the revelation of a long-held secret means that Harp and Rose have a much more pressing issue to solve, one that could destroy them if they cannot find a solution. Unexpectedly, fate takes a hand, and mother and daughter find themselves thrown a lifeline, one that inextricably links them to the stories of men, women and children for whom Queenstown was the last-ever sight of Ireland as they sailed away to new lands and new lives. Last Port of Call is the first book in The Queenstown Series. -- $c Amazon.com 610 20 $a Titanic (Steamship) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Manners and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. $9 199973 651 0 $a Cobh (Ireland) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Ireland $v Fiction. $9 210323 655 0 $a Large type books. $9 41148 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802143 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207020605.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230613010259.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20221004012859.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A266BF12300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
