Wartime intrigue spans the lives of three women—past and present—in this story about war brides traveling to America in 1946 aboard the now famously haunted HMS Queen Mary.
February, 1946. World War Two is over, but recovery from the most intimate of its horrors has only just begun for a German ballerina desperate to escape her past and the wronged daughter of a French Resistance spy. Now the two women are joining hundreds of other European war brides aboard the renowned RMS Queen Mary to be reunited with their American husbands. Meanwhile in the present day, Brette Caslake – a young woman with the ability to see ghosts – visits the famously haunted Queen Mary at the request of an old friend. What she finds there will set her on a course to solve a seventy-year-old mystery.
