Why Read This?

Emmeline boards the Titanic not knowing her family holds the secret of time travel, and when the man she loves appears with a new name and no memory of her, the emotional stakes become devastating. The ticking clock of a historically doomed ship layered over a time-travel mystery makes every chapter urgent.

Synopsis

England, 1912. Emmeline Marshall has seven days of freedom left before she returns home to New York with her family, and her overbearing parents—who don’t seem to get the hint she’s not a little girl anymore—stick her into an odious finishing school that will make her into a ‘proper’ lady. The freedom in question? The voyage across the Atlantic on the newest luxury ocean liner, the Titanic, where Emmeline meets the handsome and mysterious Leon. When their fraternization leads to a falling out between Emmeline and her father, she wishes she could be anywhere else and have a different life … And suddenly, she does. England, 1815. It’s not a dream, but it is the fulfillment of Emmeline’s fantasies. Now she’s a rich heiress, engaged to a duke’s son, with friends to love and a library of gothic romances to get lost in. But everything is not as perfect as it seems. Unaware of her family’s involvement in time travel, Emmeline has no idea how she got to this time or why Leon—who is now Theo, an undercover French soldier—is here as well, but doesn’t recognize her. Between untangling a mysterious treasure hunt from a book—which could lead her to understanding her powers—and navigating the glittering society of Regency London, can Emmeline learn to steer her own heart true? And can she find her way back home in time to save her family from a doomed ship? Titanic meets Bridgerton in The Girl Out of Time , the third in the series of fast-paced, intricately woven tales of time travel and romance from Kate Serzenta.
