E-raamat: Daughter of the Titanic

Inspired by a true story, this is a moving reimagining of loss, legacy and the fragile truth between memory and myth

She was never meant to be a symbol, but the world made her one





In 1912, fourteen-year-old Helen Melville Smith loses her father, Captain Edward J. Smith of the Titanic. In the decades that follow, she becomes the reluctant keeper of a story the world insists on telling for her: unlucky, cursed, tragic.



Sixty years later, Oxford academic Catherine Haynes discovers a mislabelled portrait and a trail of forgotten papers that lead her to the woman behind the myth.



In a series of interviews, Mel recounts the truth behind the headlines the quiet rebellions, the dangerous loves, the secrets she burned, and the one fragment of her past she refuses to let go





Daughter of the Titanic is the story of a woman the world tried to define and the extraordinary life she built beyond the wreckage.
