Lusitania: Triumph, Tragedy, and the End of the Edwardian Age
by Greg King, Penny Wilson
I love this book. (1/5/2015)
My past experience of reading similar books left me giving up before I had finished. But I stayed to the very end. I found the book very interesting. The authors give you a good understanding of this era and the people who either died or lived through this horrendous event. You really become immersed in it. I highly recommend the book.

Unusual Story (11/17/2012)
I really enjoyed this book. It is quite different from anything that I have read. The characters are totally believable. Leonie has promised her dying father to marry his assistant, 20 years her senior. Her father has trained her as an "ethnologist", studying indian artifacts and remains in Pacific Northwest in the 1800's. She discovers an indian mummy in a basket. The mummy speaks to her in dreams. She is drawn to her and her long ago buried secrets and this changes her life forever.
The story has a nice twist that I only discovered towards the end of the novel. Very enjoyable reading.
