About the Author
Pamela Oldfield's books have been translated into Spanish, German and Russian. Her adult novels are described as a blend of historical fiction and family saga, each one thoroughly researched with the help of her husband, Joseph, who photographs and videos the various locations necessary for the backgrounds.
From Booklist
Hester Shaw is 31 and despairing of ever having a home and family of her own when her protector, Detective Inspector Alexander Waring of Scotland Yard, decrees that she accompany his crotchety old aunt Edith on a journey to New York to visit a heart specialist. Fearful that he plans to replace her, she nonetheless finds compensations in the attentions of cocky young Charlie Barnes, one of the ship’s stewards; but when she returns home and breaks the news to Waring that she intends to wed Barnes, a vicious string of events is set in motion. Oldfield has an amazing gift for creating unlikable characters and embroiling them in tawdry situations while still rendering them sympathetic—a talent she puts to good use in her latest transatlantic historical romance set partly aboard the famous Mauretania’s 1907 maiden voyage. --Lynne Welch
