FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/33ms7cm2

This is the story of the shipwreck of the Pulaski in 1838 and what the survivors went through until their rescue. It alternated timelines between 1838 and the present, when a museum curator is putting together an exhibit of the wreck. It‘s also about grief and how to survive the surviving.

Fascinating story of an 1838 shipwreck, and the harrowing conditions faced by the survivors. Dual timelines: the shipwreck itself, and the present-day museum curator who is preparing an exhibition of the artifacts and dealing with a personal tragedy of her own. Based on the true story of the steamboat Pulaski, which sank in 1838 and was recently discovered off the coast of North Carolina. Haunting.

1838, a family and others take a steamship up the coast towards cooler weather for the summer. Historically the steamship Pulaski sinks. Three timelines tell this story, past and present. It should have ended before the editor decided to retell us all of the information that we already covered. Good story but the present day timeline became too predictable.

This book is one of the ones that lingers past the time of snapping the book closed. It is a story that makes you miss the characters immediately, once you realize you won't reunite tomorrow.

Moving on to the next book suggested by a friend for 2022.

This was a long book. It tells the story of the sinking of the Pulaski, and also follows a modern-day woman researching it. I was very impatient with the modern chapters, wanting to get through them and back to the ship and the survivors. Still, it was good, though like said, very long. Well, it felt long anyway.

I've been really excited to start this historical fiction about one of the worst maritime disasters in US history that I had never heard of until an episode of Exposition Unknown. A bit disappointed with how much present day narration we're starting off with since I wanted to dive right into the story of the Pulaski, but hopefully we'll get to that sooner rather than later.

Okay, 38% and...I just can't. Let me be clear: it is me, not the book!! It's very well written. But it's a dual timeline book with a present day narrative and a narrative from the time period the ship sank in. It's the present day that has undone me. I just CAN'T with the doings of historical researcher people. All the shuffling through old papers and oohing over a lost relic....

Thanks 😊

There were times that I felt the story needed to move along a little faster but I did enjoy this book. My favorite part was the end of the book. Not because it was ending but because the lingering questions throughout the story were answered, each and every one, in great detail. There were numerous times I would see a line and think wow I can relate to that feeling or it gave me a new perspective on something happening in my own life.

Just bought this ebook on sale today. Total impulse buy but it has excellent reviews here on Litsy and on Amazon.

I enjoyed the book and really immersed myself by listening to her virtual author events &
her podcast The Untold Story Behind Surviving Savannah
