Distant Waves

A novel of the Titanic 

Suzanne Weyn 

Historical Fiction 

124/330

At this part of my reading the family checked into an inn in Spirit Vale. They were supposed to stay at the inn for a while, but it was completely booked. Luckily, Maude was able to contact the owners spirit. After "contacting" the dead, Maude and her family were able to stay. After a while in Spirit Vale, Jane and Mimi run away to New York in 1911. In New York Jane falls in love with Nikola Tesla's assistant, Thad. Mimi got a new job in New York by being an assistant to a wealthily French women, Ninette and she travels with her to Europe. While Mimi is busy working, Jane boards a train to go back to Spirit Vale. Before departing, Thad realized that Jane was only 16 and that meant that she was 4 years younger then him. Thad promised he would write to her while she was away, but after the "shocking" discovery between the ages, he never wrote to her. After coming back to Spirit Vale, Maude blamed her for running away and Jane was also very sad that Mimi is now in Europe working and that Thad will never write to her.

The book is getting more and more interesting every chapter. The story is very unique and different. The book is based on the Titanic, but there is still nothing mentioned about the Titanic and it makes it more exciting and all I want to do is read the book until the end. I want to find out what actually happens with the characters and to find out why this story is based on the Titanic. I wonder what will happen to Mimi and Jane since they have been always inseparable and now Mimi is in Europe while Jane is back in Spirit Vale and also what will happen to Maude since she is still in deep depression ever since her husbands death. 

"No Jana, I dont," Mother said. "I am happy with no husband to give me orders. It is bad enough that as a women I can't vote. At least not being married gives me some autonomy. I am my own women at last." (Page 50)

This is an interesting passage in the book because Maude is trying to prove to her daughter that she is happy without a husband, but when each and every one of her daughters know that she is in deep sadness.
