About this deal

It’s historical fiction, but we have Black, Pakistani, and Croatian characters, a sapphic romance, and all but one of the main characters are immigrants, which is always fantastic to see. While Josefa, Emilie, Hinnah, and Violet seemingly don’t have anything in common, they’re united in one goal: stealing the Rubaiyat, a jewel-encrusted book aboard the RMS Titanic that just might be the golden ticket to solving their problems. A heart-pounding, romantic adventure from the award-winning author of Hani and Ishu's Fake Guide to Dating. During these times his work has been described as “unique unparalleled elsewhere” and “in a league of their own”.

Indeed, as the countdown ticks away, each stroke of the hand bringing us, and them, closer and closer to tragedy, cumulative storytelling structures tells you in your heart of hearts that not all four of these girls will see the sun rise on April 15, 1912. I’m not sure if anyone actually gets together in this story or if there are other possible couples).These four young women are so incredibly well-drawn that you’re rooting for them to succeed in crime. Oh, and good luck not trying to head canon one or two of these women into the background of the film as Jack and Rose are doing their thing.

This high-seas heist is described as a novel that ‘gives Titanic an Ocean’s 8 makeover…an immersive story that makes readers forget one important detail – the ship sinks. But careless mistakes, old grudges, and new romance threaten to jeopardize everything they've worked for and put them in incredible danger when tragedy strikes. But they feel any, and all inherent risk is proportional to the reward and proceed with the task at hand, certainly not accounting for a Force Majeure type of situation, like say, colliding with a giant iceberg. And for the amount of opportunities that Jaigirdar had to develop these four characters, most of them were shockingly underdeveloped. Perfect for fans of Stalking Jack the Ripper and Girl in the Blue Coat, this high-seas heist from the author of The Henna Wars is an immersive story that makes readers forget one important detail— the ship sinks.They all have aspirations for a better future beyond the drudgery of their current situation in Dublin.
