As an apprentice librarian for the White Star Line, his job was to curate the ship's second-class library. But just as he was about to board to tend to his library throughout the passage, a superior takes his place, leaving Yorick stranded at the dock. The Titanic was not Yorick's first brush with death, but as with every near-miss he manages to escape into the world of books. After he learns of theship's sinking, he takes this twist of fate as a sign to follow his lifelong dream of owning a bookshop in Paris. It's at his shop that he receives an invitation to a secret society of survivors where he encounters other ticket-holders who didn't board the ship. Haunted by their good fortune, they decide to transform their group into a book society, where they can grapple with their own anxieties through the guise of discussing contentious works such as The Awakening or The Picture of Dorian Gray. Of theragtag group of survivors, Yorick finds himself particularly drawn to the wealthy candy heiress Zinnia and the mysterious and alluring Haze. Yorick feels like an outsider looking in, falling hopelessly for Haze as Haze courts Zinnia; a tangled triangle of love and friendship forms between them. Yet with the Great War looming, their close-knit group is shattered, only brought back together once the death of a fellow book club member leaves them wondering what fate has in store for each of them."-- $c Provided by publisher. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Schaffert, Timothy. $t Titanic Survivors Book Club $b First edition. $d New York : Doubleday, 2024 $z 9780385549165 $w (DLC) 2023027195 941 $a 13 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20240618010222.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240606010047.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240525011223.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240514010926.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013035.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20240509010811.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012342.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20240502011810.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240502011144.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240502010559.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409013012.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012149.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240326010245.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D7F307AEB3611EE87C4D8585EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
