Book Club: The Girl Who Came Home, with Author Hazel Gaynor

from Unsinkable: The Titanic Podcast · host L.A. Beadles

Join me as I chat with author Hazel Gaynor, who has SUCH a refreshing take on Titanic's legacy; her book, The Girl Who Came Home, is a peek into some of the smaller, gorgeously human moments aboard the ship, and specifically those of the Irish immigrants she focuses on. This book is a fictionalization of  the ship's real Irish passengers know as the Addergoole 14, who we talk a bit about in terms of collective grief and their legacy. We touch on the role of historical fiction in helping us all to process the tragedy, as well as just historical fiction's value more generally. This was a delight, and I congratulate Hazel on 10 years with this compelling novel of the Titanic!Buy the book here: https://bookshop.org/books/the-girl-who-came-home-a-novel-of-the-titanic/9780062316868?aid=80949&listref=the-unsinkable-book-clubFind Hazel's website here: https://www.hazelgaynor.comAs always, email me anytime: [email protected]//or find me on Insta and Twitter @UnsinkablePodLOTL: Queer ConversationWe all crave Queer Conversations.
