From the critically-acclaimed author of The Downstairs Girl comes the richly imagined story of Valora and Jamie Luck, twin British-Chinese acrobats traveling aboard the Titanic on its ill-fated maiden voyage.
Valora Luck has two things: a ticket for the biggest and most luxurious ocean liner in the world, and a dream of leaving England behind and making a life for herself as a circus performer in New York. Much to her surprise though, she's turned away at the gangway; apparently, Chinese aren't allowed into America.
But Val has to get on that ship. Her twin brother Jamie, who has spent two long years at sea, is there, as is an influential circus owner, whom Val hopes to audition for. Thankfully, there's not much a trained acrobat like Val can't overcome when she puts her mind to it.
As a stowaway, Val should keep her head down and stay out of sight. But the clock is ticking and she has just seven days as the ship makes its way across the Atlantic to find Jamie, perform for the circus owner, and convince him to help get them both into America.
Then one night the unthinkable happens, and suddenly Val's dreams of a new life are crushed under the weight of the only thing that matters: survival.

An Indie Bestseller
A YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Selection
“Lee gives life to the young women of the Chinese diaspora, writing them back into the story.... So rich and focused are [Val's] schemes that as a reader, it's very easy to get caught up in them, and forget that before long, the only thing that will matter is the icy depths of the Atlantic.” (NPR)
“Historical romance fans will love Luck of the Titanic.” (Bustle)
“Lovingly rendered, Val’s bittersweet story is one of hope, courage and the fight to survive.” (Ms. Magazine)

Is it weird to say that Valora, the main character of the book, is its biggest weakness? Yes, that's right.
However, what I did like about this book was me being educated about six Chinese survivors in the Titanic sinking. It was an eye opener, and it made me read about them more.
I love the narrator's voice because it was soothing and clear.
Just OK
