Helpful Score: 3

This is a fascinating and compelling story about the 1838 sinking of the steamship, The Pulaski, and the Savannah passengers who faced a life threatening situation. It is told in alternating time periods as divers find artifacts from the sinking of the ship and museum workers attempt to build an exhibit and determine the life stories of the passengers. This is both heartbreaking and uplifting as characters in both time periods face grief and heartbreak and find new inspiration and motivation in their lives. Gorgeously written and researched, this novel is one of my favorites!
