How could someone be so lucky to survive multiple sinkings of boats including the Titanic?

And how could someone be so unlucky to not have anyone to love her or to rely on, specifically her father?

We meet Violet who is a steward on ships and must keep going back even after the sinkings because she has to take care of her family and all she wanted to do was to make sure her family was taken care of.

We also meet Daphne, who is recruited for the SOE during World War II because she speaks many languages. All she wanted to do was to get some praise from her father for her many accomplishments.

We follow both women in alternating chapters and experience their thoughts, their fears, and their triumphs.

UNSINKABLE shares these two stories of strong women and how they wouldn't give up - therefore both can be labeled "unsinkable."

Violet is based on an actual woman - Violet Jessop and Daphne is a fictional character.

A slow start for me as I was putting the story line together, but Ms. Walsh's wonderful writing style pulled me in for a good read.

The ending was satisfying, and of course I looked up Violet Jessop. 4/5
