The Glass Ocean
By: Beatriz Williams

I really enjoyed this book.

I like that they took a historical event— the sinking of the RMS Lusitania ship by a German U-boat in 1915— and created a story around it. It made me google a lot of things which I deem as a successful book.

The back and forth between present day and history helped draw out the suspense. Even though you “know” what happened to the ship, the book is still engaging!

My only problem with the book was the ending. I found it rather incomplete and unsatisfying. I think the author could have done a better job of wrapping things up and explaining more of what actually happened.

But I would read more from this author.
