Distant Waves

A novel of the Titanic 

Suzanne Weyn 

Historical Fiction 

231/330

Mimi has been gone for a while, but she finally contacted her family while they were in London, Canada for a spiritual convention. At the convention is was proven that the twins, Amelie and Emma have their mothers gift by being able to speak to the dead. Mimi told her mother and sisters that she will be traveling on the Titanic with her mistress. Her sister Blythe wanted to go with her too. It took a while for Blythe to convince her mother to allow her to go, but in the end she went with Mimi and she traveled second class while Mimi traveled in luxury in the first class. When an english newspaper editor, William Thomas Stead predicted that the Titanic will sink, Jane, Amelie and Emma get on it to try to talk Blythe and Mimi to get off. Mimi didn't want to get off because she was working and her mistress was there and she didn't believe a word of what Amelie, Jane and Emma were saying. On the ship Jane bumps into That and Tesla. Thad tells her that he made a mistake for not writing to her and that he still wants to be with her. Also Mimi announced that she will be getting married on the Titanic with her mistresses butler. While on the ship, Jane, Emma and Amelie were convinced that the ship won't sink so they stayed. 

This has been the most interesting part of my reading. So much has happened between characters and many relationships were built. Knowing that the Titanic will actually sink, I wonder what will happen with the entire family. If some will survive, if the entire family will survive or if everyone will die. 

"Maybe all the events of the past few months had occurred for just one reason-- to bring Thad and me together. Perhaps our being here on the Titanic wasn't predestination, but rather, destiny. (page 216) 

This little passage was focused on Thad and Jane being together and seeing each other after they had stopped talking to each other. Thad apologized because he still wanted to be with her and he was sorry that he didn't keep any contact with her after she left. This passage seems like something big is going to happen with Jane and Thad. Even though they are on the Titanic and Jane believes its going to sink, she doesn't want to let anything get in the way of them two.  They both believe in life after death so they wouldn't even let death separate them again.
