THE CAPTAIN’S DAUGHTER

Book ID/图书代码: 12290010B42594

English Summary/英文概要: The secrets in a woman’s heart are deeper than the ocean...For May Smith, travelling with her husband and baby girl Ellen, stepping foot on the Titanic marks the start of an incredible journey, one which is destined to take her from the back streets of Bolton to the land of opportunity: the United States. But when the ’unsinkable’ Titanic hits an iceberg one cold dark night, May’s dreams are instantly shattered. Jumping from the sinking ship at the last minute, May loses sight of Joe and Ellen. Distraught, she is pulled into a lifeboat. Minutes later, the real-life Captain Smith swims to the lifeboat and hands May a baby swaddled in blankets. Beside herself, and in virtual darkness, May believes the baby to be Ellen. This rescue is witnessed by fellow survivor, Celeste Parkes, married to an American industrialist who is on her way back to Ohio after her mother’s funeral. In horror, they both watch the death throes of the mighty ship; May traumatised, knowing her husband has drowned, Celeste wishing her bully of a husband had been on board and out of her life. As the dawn comes up, and the two women are rescued by the Carpathia, a friendship is formed, one which is destined to transcend the Atlantic and social differences between them and last a lifetime. Then May makes a shocking discovery and a split-second decision which will change the lives of so many.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 當MY LOVE WILL GO ON的旋律再次響起
有幾人能不為之動容
2012年5月14日 泰坦尼克沉沒100周年紀念日
閉上眼睛,讓我們為那些瞬間逝去的生命
緬懷 祈禱…

常常被人們記起的 總是巨輪即將沉沒時 乘客的垂死掙扎和營救的很多感人場面
而在營救過程中 又發生了哪些鮮為人知的故事
《船長的女兒》帶你深度揭秘 你不曾知道的泰坦尼克

女人的心思與海洋,哪一個來得更深一些呢?

梅.史密斯和丈夫,懷中抱著心愛的女兒艾倫,踏上了泰坦尼克,開啟了他們夢幻般的旅程,因為這艘豪華巨輪將會載著他們離開博爾頓的窮街陋巷,到達那片充滿生機和希望的土地:美國。

然而,一切都是那樣令人難以置信…

當“永不沉沒”的泰坦尼克在一個漆黑寒冷的夜晚撞上冰山,梅的所有願望頃刻間粉身碎骨。就在巨輪就要沉沒的最後一刻,她跳入冰冷的海水,與丈夫喬和女兒艾倫失去聯繫,近乎發狂之際,梅被拉到一個救生艇上。幾分鐘之後,船長史密斯從海水中艱難得遊到救生船旁邊,將一個被毯子緊緊包裹的嬰兒塞到梅的手中。暗夜淒淒,包括梅自己在內,都深信不疑這個在寒冷中顫顫發抖的小寶貝就是艾倫。

這次的營救同樣被倖存者塞萊斯特.帕克斯親眼目睹。她是一位美國實業家的妻子,在俄亥俄州參加完母親的葬禮之後,乘坐泰坦尼克返回美國。

耀武揚威的巨輪瘋狂得向垂死掙扎的人們施展著它的威力,在極度的恐懼中,兩位女人見證了這場突如其來的劫難…

當黎明來臨,二人被卡帕提亞從救生艇上救走,於是一段友誼就這樣形成了,這註定是一份可以跨越大西洋的遙遠距離、溫暖一生的真摯感情。而就在當時,看着怀中抱着的婴儿,梅突然有一個令人震驚的發現,讓她瞬間產生了驚人的決定,正是這個決定改變了如此眾多的生命…(Claire)
