About this listen
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The story of a mother's quest to find her children against all odds, set against the epic backdrop of the sinking of the legendary Titanic.
‘Smashing . . . I was hooked on page one and literally could not put it down. I loved all that she wrote about the true story behind this thrilling tale’ JOANNA LUMLEY
Nice, France, 1911: After three years of marriage, young seamstress Marcela Caretto has finally had enough. Her husband, Michael, an ambitious tailor, has become cruel and controlling and she determines to get a divorce.
But while awaiting the judges’ decision on the custody of their two small boys, Michael receives news that changes everything.
Meanwhile fun-loving New York socialite Margaret Hays is touring Europe with some friends. Restless, she resolves to head home aboard the most celebrated steamer in the world – RMS Titanic.
As the ship sets sail for America, carrying two infants bearing false names, the paths of Marcela, Michael and Margaret cross – and nothing will ever be the same again.
From the Sunday Times-bestselling author, Celia Imrie, Orphans of the Storm dives into the waters of the past to unearth a sweeping, epic tale of the sinking of the Titanic that radiates with humanity and hums with life.

just couldn't stop lisening
Impeccable research into this book. Written and narrated by Celia Imrie whose diction cannot be faulted.
I enjoyed all the characters on the Titanic coming to life and in particular Marcela. I have always had an interest in the Titanic disaster and the history of the time, this book did not let me down. This is my best read of 2021 so far.

Gripping from the 1st Paragraph
Oh wow I just loved this book … superbly read by Celia and extremely well researched .. it’s a must read for it gave me a true insight into the Titanic’s epic voyage and the back story of Marcela & Michael Caretto and their families struggles- a great novel filled with compassion, great characters, and how their lives entwined … the Epilogue was extremely interesting too!
