The Titanic Story of Evelyn
An epic tale, this is the never-before-told true story of Evelyn Marsden, a brave Australian nurse who was the only Australian-born survivor of the sinking of the Titanic. It is an unforgettable story of the best and worst of humanity.
Lisa Wilkinson's The Titanic Story of Evelyn is the never-before-told true tale of the only Australian-born survivor of the sinking of the Titanic. It is the story of a brave young Australian nurse who wanted to see the world, fell in love, then almost lost it all in one of the greatest maritime tragedies the world has ever known.
And yet somehow, few Australians know anything of Evelyn's existence, the courageous role she played in the hours after the Titanic was fatally hit by an iceberg, or the heartwarming love story behind it all, that even now, lives on.
Lisa Wilkinson's exhaustively researched and superbly written new book brings together the incredible drama of the sinking of the Titanic and Evelyn Marsden's own extraordinary, uniquely Australian story. It is a tale that will ensure the world is about to fall in love with this heroic young woman from South Australia.
