The Brittle Sea Review

 


Author: Tom Kane

Publication: 2020

Price: Free

 

In Tom Kane’s novel The Brittle Sea, Magda Asparov yearns to reclaim her family's greatness. After her parents sold their ailing cannery, she agreed to marry an American businessman. Who cares if he's older than her? It's her ticket out of poverty!

 

Matthew G. Turner III squandered his family’s wealth. Hemorrhaging businesses and property, he buys successful businesses and strips them of their assets. When Magda’s parents offer him valuable land, he agrees to marry the young woman.

 

Getting in their way is Captain Richard Blackmore. While he rescues Magda from the Titanic, she's lost her memory. He gives her the name Maggie, which she likes. She can't claim she survived the Titanic disaster when she can't remember her name. Turner charges his fixer, William Harker, with finding her. But Maggie—a kind, generous, and loving woman--has fallen in love with Richard.

 

Fate separates Maggie and Richard. Events allow Magda to resurface. Turner and Magda—two psychopaths who don't care who they hurt to get what they want—seem made for each other. Yet Richard refuses to forsake Magda. Unfortunately, William Harker is determined to keep them apart.

 

Rich in drama, The Brittle Sea transports readers across the globe. Author Tom Kane skates across oft-told history while highlighting less-known aspects of early 20th-century life. His book is free on Amazon, giving readers no excuse to savor this riveting historical thriller.
