Two remarkable women, one fateful night aboard the Titanic, and a lifetime of secrets—an unforgettable tale spanning three generations and three countries, rich in detail, and marrying fiction with little-known fact. For May Smith, traveling with her husband and baby girl Ellen, stepping foot on the Titanic marks the start of an incredible journey from Bolton to the United States. However, when the Titanic hits an iceberg, May’s dreams are shattered. In a desperate leap from the sinking ship, she loses sight of her family and is pulled into a lifeboat. Moments later, the captain hands her a swaddled baby, and in the chaos, May believes it to be Ellen. This rescue is witnessed by Celeste Parkes, who is returning to Ohio after her mother’s funeral. Both women watch in horror as the ship sinks; May is traumatized by her husband’s drowning, while Celeste wishes her abusive husband had perished. As dawn breaks and they are rescued, a friendship forms, transcending the Atlantic and their social differences. However, May’s shocking discovery and a split-second decision will change the lives of many, intertwining their fates in unexpected ways.

"Hodgkinson's portrait of the primal bond between mother and child . . . leaves an indelible impression." --"The New York Times Book Review" Debuting its first week on the "New York Times" bestseller list and earning comparisons to "Sophie's Choice" and "Sarah's Key," "22 Britannia Road" is an astonishing first novel that powerfully chronicles one family's struggle to create a home in the aftermath of war. With World War II finally over, Silvana and her seven-year-old son, Aurek, board the ship that will take them to England, where Silvana's husband, Janusz--determined to forget his ghosts--has rented a little house at 22 Britannia Road. But after years spent hiding in the forests of Poland, Aurek is wild, almost feral. And for Silvana, who cannot escape the painful memory of a shattering wartime act, forgetting is not a possibility.
