About this listen
Trapped in an unhappy aristocratic marriage, Elinor Coombes sees only lonely days ahead of her. So a present from her father - tickets for the maiden voyage of a huge, luxurious new ship called the Titanic – offers a welcome escape from the cold, controlling atmosphere of her husband’s ancestral home, and some precious time with her little son, Teddy.
When the ship goes down, Elinor realises the disaster has given her a chance to take Teddy and start a new life – but only if they can disappear completely, listed as among the dead. Penniless and using another woman’s name, she has to learn to survive in a world that couldn’t be more different from her own, and keep their secret safe.
An uplifting story about grabbing your chances with both hands, and being brave enough to find out who you really are.
‘A thoroughly enjoyable novel about being brave enough to grab hold of a second chance and make the most of it’ Louise Hare
‘An acutely observed account of one woman’s struggle to escape the shackles of an aristocratic marriage, and the desperate decisions she has to make after the sinking of the Titanic. You’ll be rooting for Elinor Coombes all the way in this compelling, heart-warming novel’ Gill Paul
‘A brilliant, big-hearted book with a brave and complex heroine struggling to make a new life for herself and her son after the wreckage of the Titanic. A powerful and inspiring story about finding strength in the face of insurmountable odds’ Anna Mazzola
‘Excoriates the British aristocracy who put dynastic ambitions above love and happiness. A beautifully written page-turner of the highest order. We are with Elinor on her riches to rags adventure every step of the way’ Lila Cain
‘I was swept away by this story of bravery and resilience in a life of changing fortunes. Utterly compelling’ Essie Fox
‘Through her wonderfully imagined character of Elinor Coombes, Frances Quinn shapes a powerful, immersive and intriguing narrative of the Titanic tragedy. I walked every step of that journey with Elinor and Teddy, and still think about them long after turning the final page. Brilliant historical drama’ Hazel Gaynor
‘A vivid, compelling and immaculately researched story with a protagonist in Elinor you can’t help but root for’ Lucy Barker
‘I absolutely loved The Lost Passenger. I adored the writing style, the characterization and the gripping storyline to the extent that I couldn’t wait to get to the end whilst really not wanting it to end. Bliss!’ Jill Mansell©2024 Frances Quinn (P)2024 Simon & Schuster, UK

Out of despair
I could understand someone behaving as Eleanor did under similar circumstances. Desperation and determination can accomplish much. Very good narration.

Another wonderful novel!
I just love Frances Quinn's storytelling! She has a real gift to engage and this latest doesn't disappoint. It was one of those stories that you want to race to finish but don't want it to end.
Tremendously evocative writing and excellent narration. In fact, I found the writing so compelling that the recounting of Eleanor's experience of Teddy's birth and early years and her description of the sinking of the Titanic were almost too much to bear.
Can't wait for the next one!!

Fantastic
I loved this book and just wanted to keep on listening. Really interesting take on life onboard the Titanic and how the sinking of the ship gave opportunity for great change.i loved the portrayal of the main character, the depth , the grit and determination . So many layers as with the other characters. Narration was brilliant and as good as the Bonesetter.

Nice
Very effective narration, characters were given good accents and Heather Long read with pace and intonation.
I found the first part of the story interesting but towards the end it became repetitive.
It’s a nice story but not exciting.
