| Summary |
Years after he disappeared on the Titanic, one victim's suitcase, having been retrieved from the bottom of the ocean, becomes the ticket to a journey of discovery. Armed with the mementos of a life contained in the suitcase, and the truth they generate as they are plucked from the submerged Titanic, author Enrique Dick embarks on an excursion into his maternal family history, intertwined with both British and Argentine history as the family emigrated from one country to the other |
