Setting: Early 20th Century – New York, Ukraine, North Atlantic
Author: Tom Kane
A Riveting Tale of Love, Loss, and Reinvention
The Brittle Sea is an evocative historical drama that brilliantly merges emotional depth with sweeping historical events. From the icy decks of the Titanic to the gritty streets of 1930s New York, this novel weaves a hauntingly powerful narrative that explores identity, revenge, and the resilience of the human spirit.
The story follows Magda, a fiercely ambitious young Ukrainian woman who escapes her troubled past aboard the Titanic under a new identity. Surviving the infamous disaster in an extraordinary twist of fate, she awakens with no memory of who she is. Reborn as Maggie under the care of the dignified and haunted Captain Richard Blackmore. What unfolds is not merely a recovery of memory, but a reinvention of self amid a tangle of deceit, obsession, and historical tragedy.
The author expertly captures the grandeur and horror of the Titanic, the bleak elegance of Depression-era New York, and the complex interplay of social class, gender roles, and trauma. Told through a multi-perspective lens, including that of the driven and sinister Matthew Turner III, The Brittle Sea does not shy away from moral ambiguity or emotional rawness.
