Olive's Book Group is reading:
The Dressmaker
by Kate Alcott

Just in time for the centennial anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.  A compelling historical novel about a spirited young woman who survives the disaster only to find herself embroiled in the media frenzy left in the wake of the tragedy.
 
Tess thinks she's had a lucky break when she is hired by famous designer Lady Lucile Duff Gordon to be a personal maid on the Titanic's maiden voyage.  But on the fourth night, disaster strikes and amid the chaos Tess is one of the last people allowed on a lifeboat.
 
On dry land, rumors about the survivors begin to circulate, and Lady Duff Gordon quickly becomes the subject of media scorn as a result of her behavior aboard the doomed ship.  Set against a historical tragedy but told from a completely fresh angle, The Dressmaker is filled with all the period's glitz and glamour and the raw feelings of a national tragedy.
