Description
Liverpool 1940. The SS Carlisle sets sail, carrying a group of children to Canada as overseas evacuees. Alice King is among them, finally doing her part for the war. Meanwhile, in London, Lily Nicholls anxiously waits for news of her son and daughter's safe arrival. When disaster strikes in the Atlantic, Alice and Lily - one at sea, the other on land - become each other's best hope. The events of that fateful night and the eight days that follow will bind the two women together in unforgettable ways. Inspired by a remarkable true story, The Last Lifeboat is a gripping tale of love, courage, and hope against the odds. With its heart-wrenching story and vivid characters, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves historical fiction. Praise for The Last Lifeboat includes descriptions of its absorbing and heart-rending story, its well-handled plot, and its terrific writing.
