Sisters of Fortune introduces us to the real-life Fortune sisters, who boarded the Titanic with their family and had their lives changed forever. The novel is filled with historical facts about the ship and some of its passengers, and the author’s thorough research is obvious.
I had not heard of the Fortune sisters, so this is a new take on the sinking of the Titanic and introduces passengers that many people did not know about. The description of the ship as the sisters boarded is realistic and well done, as the reader can easily imagine the decadence the wealthy sisters enjoyed. The actual disaster and sinking of the Titanic has of course been written about many times before, but the author does a great job of transporting the reader to that tragedy. The characters, both real and fictional, are woven together beautifully into an intriguing story. The author adds a fictional romance to the novel, and it is so compelling and well done.
In Sisters of Fortune, Fiction, Romance, and History are woven together to create a heartbreaking but very memorable story. Anyone interested in the sinking of the Titanic will enjoy this novel.

I love historical fiction for that reason, learning something I don’t know a lot about, learning about people from history or events. I have this on my TBR and look forward to reading it.
Me too! I’ve read a lot of Titanic stories, and then here some along three very real sisters named Fortune who I haven’t heard of before.
Great review Bonnie. I also have this to read. 💕📚
I hope you enjoy it!
Excellent review, Bonnie! This must be an awesome book.
I am fascinated by the Titanic.
Me too, Bonnie.
I’ve never heard of them either and I used to devour everything I could find about the Titanic. So I’ll have to check this one out! Going to go add it to my Goodreads TBR. Great review!
