Before the Storm by Susan E. Jones
It is the spring of 1912 and Bessie and Lionel Fielding have escaped the hubbub of London and are living serenely on the Devonshire coast. Bessie, new to married life, is determined to make the most of her freedom after years spent in the service of others.
But when her nephew Walter alerts her to a crisis in his fiancée’s family, the Fieldings are drawn into a tragedy of epic proportions. The RMS Titanic, bound for New York on its maiden voyage, has struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic. A beloved aunt was on board, travelling alone in steerage. In the absence of any information as to her fate, Bessie and Lionel must become involved in the search for answers.
About Susan E. Jones
I grew up in Stroud in Gloucestershire but was always keen to travel and embrace new experiences. For many years I lived and worked abroad – in Brussels, Rome, Abidjan and Washington DC – working mostly with international organisations in various roles ranging from editing to budget preparation.
When I finally decided it was time for me to return to the UK, I chose Penzance in Cornwall as my home and was able to devote most of my free time to writing. This had long been my ambition. Long daily walks along the South West Coastal Path give me both a sense of wellbeing and an opportunity to think about ideas for my next novel.
I self-published three novels between 2016 and 2020. These were, however, basically fictionalised autobiographies and would not have attracted an audience beyond family and close friends. After the Rain is the first purely fictional novel I have written. It was inspired by the contents of my great-great aunt’s postcard album, which somehow ended up my possession. Many of the postcards are from her nephew and they captured my imagination, giving me a glimpse into life in the early 1900s.
