Ellie is a woman who has seen more than her fair share of troubles, and hasn’t yet come to terms with them. She is about to become a stewardess aboard the Empress of Ireland for the romance of her life… and a tragedy to top anything she has seen before. Caroline Pignat’s “Unspeakable” is a fictional story based upon true fact of a trade guy that was lost to time because it was sandwiched between two of recent history's most famous events. Unspeakable is a fun book to read with all the elements of a good fictional story, yet it pays tribute to those who were onboard the Empress of Ireland -- both alive and dead -- through its plot and its base in truth. Books like these make learning about history fun. Although the dating system used in the chapters may take some getting used to. - @R2-D2 of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
