In the chaos of that terrible night, her secret went down with the Titanic. But secrets have a way of floating to the surface 

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 husbands 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 womans name, she has to learn to survive in a world that couldnt 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 womans struggle to escape the shackles of an aristocratic marriage, and the desperate decisions she has to make after the sinking of the Titanic. Youll 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 cant 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 couldnt wait to get to the end whilst really not wanting it to end. Bliss! Jill Mansell

A cracking riches-to-rags tale from the queen of the underdog story, which cleverly turns the standard Cinderella story on its head to page-turning effect Trevor Wood

A brilliant rags-to-riches novel set around the Titanic disaster and getting a second chance in life. The Lost Passenger says so much about what family and love really means, and is emotionally heartwarming without ever being saccharine. Brilliantly compelling Nikki Smith

An utterly captivating story of reinvention that is so evocative I didnt want to leave that world behind. This book will stay with me for a long time Victoria Dowd

I was swept away by this story of bravery and resilience in a life of changing fortunes. Utterly compelling Essie Fox

Elinor - the cotton kings daughter - is a wonderfully engaging character. Frances Quinn makes you care about her so that you are furious on her behalf at the slights and deceptions visited upon her, and cheer her on as she takes her future in her own two strong and capable hands through this thoroughly enjoyable, pacy and involving tale  Jane Johnson

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 cant help but root for Lucy Barker

In the deftly conjured world and era of The Lost Passenger, we find ourselves caught up inside the tension of Elinors apparently hopeless plight and the daily jeopardy of her bold re-invention. In this captivating story, Frances Quinn has created a heroine to love and root for and relate to across the decades, causing us to wonder if we too would find her courage to start life again as someone else. A total joy to read! Joanna Glen

Thrilling Unseen Histories

Full of warmth and humour Bangle    

Frances Quinn grew up in London and read English at King's College, Cambridge, realising too late that the course would require more than lying around reading novels for three years. After snatching a degree from the jaws of laziness, she became a journalist, writing for magazines including Prima, Good Housekeeping, She, Woman's Weekly and Ideal Home, and later branched out into copywriting, producing words for everything from Waitrose pizza packaging to the EasyJet in-flight brochure. In 2013, she won a place on the Curtis Brown Creative novel writing course, and started work on her first novel, The Smallest Man. That Bonesetter Woman is her second novel.She lives in Brighton, with her husband and two Tonkinese cats.
