Book Review of The House of Velvet and Glass

The House of Velvet and Glass
reading-galore avatar reviewed on + 115 more book reviews


This historical fiction novel alternates stories of several members of the Allston family suffering losses from the tragic sinking of the Titanic. The settings feel real and the characters are beautifully developed. The story adds a supernatural or mystical element with the inclusion of psychic mediums viewing a scrying glass to see the future. The plot is somewhat slow to develop in the beginning but I found myself quite drawn in later.
