RHONY star Ramona Singer looks tense as she steps out in NYC after getting REMOVED from BravoCon amid alleged racist slur controversy Young Marcela, an Italian immigrant and the book’s true heroine, dreams of becoming a famous singer; instead, her family subjects her to a more practical path. Marcela’s aunt takes the young woman into her tailoring shop where fanciful Marcela resents what her family has chosen for her. After a dreadful mistake involving a high-paying customer and some of the most expensive fabric in her aunt’s shop, Marcela finds herself unemployed. She then enrolls in tailoring classes, where she meets a young man, Stefan, and an instructor, Michel Navratil, and the course of Marcela’s life changes drastically. As Stefan, Michel, and Marcela transform into a tailoring trifecta and begin a business that consumes their lives, Marcela also finds herself falling in love with Michel and eventually marrying him against her family’s wishes during a trip to England. While the beginning of their marriage is one from the fairy tales, or, rather, one any woman of the Edwardian Era would have dreamed of, Michel’s evil nature and his threatening, hidden past reveals itself after the birth of their two sons — Michel Marcel and Edmond. As Marcela pursues divorce, bailiffs threaten Michel with property confiscation since Michel has driven the tailoring business into financial ruin. Michel’s solution is simple: using a false identity for himself and his sons, he acquires passage to the United States of America. The rest, as is often said, is history.

For years I have found the story of the Titanic fascinating, so it's obvious that my favourite part was onboard the ship. I found Margaret's story a bit slow, but I think it was because of my level of excitement about the part onboard the ship. The ship itself has a small part in the story, the main focus is on the story leading up to the boys being on the ship and their life after the sinking. I enjoyed the historical research by Fidelis Morgan and found it really interesting.
