The House of Velvet and Glass
The House of Velvet and Glass: A Novel
by Katherine Howe
There's a certain magic in this tale after the leisurely start (3/23/2012)
The story gets off to a slow start, fitting to the leisurely pace of life just before WWI in upper-crust Boston.
But once it gets going, it really gets going!
The three threads, 1915 present, the last night of the Titanic and Lan's shipping days, at first seem disparate, but by the end, they come together, and the reader realizes they were all necessary for the story to be complete.
And heartbreaking.
