Schaffert (The Perfume Thief) tinkers somewhat with the historical record (according to the Titanic Historical Society, the ship wasn’t racially segregated) in a novel offering lessons about love and literature that transcend time.

The Swan Gondola
With allusions to the Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz, Schaffert has magically transformed a stretch of field near Omaha into a white, shimmering vision of rotundas, columns, and pillars. His magical tale is steeped in late 19th-century history. The stately pace might be too slow for some readers, but fans of historical fiction will not be disappointed. [See Prepub Alert, 8/12/13.]
