The Titanic Story of Evelyn by Lisa Wilkinson

The never-before-told true story of the only Australian-born survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, by Lisa Wilkinson.

Evelyn Marsden was a young South Australian nurse who wanted to see the world. She fell in love. And then she almost lost it all in one of the greatest maritime tragedies in history.

Few Australians know anything of Evelyn's existence today, or of the courageous role she played in the hours after the Titanic was fatally hit by an iceberg, or of the love story that survived the disaster and lasted long after it.

Lisa Wilkinson brings Evelyn's story together with the wider drama of the sinking, in a book exhaustively researched and carefully told. A uniquely Australian piece of Titanic history, and a young woman from South Australia whose courage deserves to be far better known than it is.
