I went into this expecting a novel about the Titanic since that's what the cover says. It's mostly a book about the supernatural and spirit worlds. The Titanic actually plays a very small role in the book. A few parts felt awkwardly written, as if trying to shovel historical information onto the reader (I love historical fiction, but this book seems to try to shove in your face the fact that it's trying to justify itself as being slightly historical). Anyway, this story follows five sisters and their mother as they grow up in a place called Spirit Vale. Their mother is a spiritual medium, two of the sisters seem like they are preparing to follow in her path, two of the sisters are less enthused about the spirit world, and want to one day leave Spirit Vale. The final sister, the main character Jane, does a nice job of straddling the line between being logical/ scientific and having some belief in the unexplained. I did enjoy her character and the journey she went on, but I think what turned me off to this book was the fact that it wasn't what I went in expecting.
