Praise for The Titanic Sisters 

“Falvey delivers the enchanting saga of two Irish sisters who board the Titanic with dreams of new lives in New York City…Falvey does a good job capturing the girls’ excitement at leaving Ireland for New York, and of showing Nora’s gradual recovery of her memories. This new chapter of Titanic lore is worth plunging into.”
Publishers Weekly

“Falvey’s engrossing historical novel charts the paths of two sisters as they journey from Ireland to early 1900’s America. Elder Nora, outgoing and beautiful, is doted on by her mother, while timid Delia considers herself an outsider, preferring the companionship of books to people. When a request from New York City for a governess arrives, Nora is assigned the position, and Delia, eager to flee her mother as well as their small town, is recruited to work as a maid. The two embark on the Titanic’s ill-fated maiden voyage. In the aftermath of the disaster, Nora is presumed dead and Delia takes on her sister’s identity and post as governess. Though wracked with guilt, she forms a bond with the child under her care, Lily, and is drawn to Lily’s father. Meanwhile, Nora survives the disaster but suffers from amnesia. As Nora pieces together the past, Delia must reconcile her actions with the pulls of her heart. With sharply drawn characters and shifting landscapes, Falvey’s drama deftly explores the sisters’ life-altering transformations and relationships as they come into their own.”

—Susan VreelandNew York Times bestselling author of Girl in Hyacinth Blue on The Girls of Ennismore

“Falvey, adept at combining vivid historical detail and rich characterization, brings closure to Rose’s and Victoria’s amorous predicaments with brio and simplicity as the women eventually reunite in friendship.”
Publishers Weekly on The Girls of Ennismore

“An emotionally powerful book, and a joy to read. Falvey has a gift for creating realistic and very believable characters. By saying it’s a gift, I don`t mean it’s easy to do this. It is the result of much hard work.”
Irish American News on The Linen Queen

“A host of interesting characters, surprising but plausible plot developments, and deftly incorporated details of the Irish struggle for independence add up to a debut novel sure to please fans of historical romance.”

What other Authors are saying about Patricia’s books…

“Fans of Rosie Thomas’ Ireland-set novels and Barbara Taylor Bradford’s sagas will find themselves immersed in Falvey’s fascinating tale. Sweeping from rural Ireland to Dublin, from the calm days of the early 1900s to the bitter years of war and rebellion, Falvey brings every moment and historical event to life through these women, their friendship, tragedies, and triumphs. Sometimes bucolic and sometimes heartbreaking, here is a novel that reaches into the heart of Ireland – and into readers’ hearts as well..

RT Book Reviews


Against the backdrop of early-20th-century Ireland, Falvey brings authenticity to the class struggles and political clashes that impact the lives of these two young girls whose friendship is ever tested by the gap in their backgrounds… Falvey is adept at combining vivid historical detail and rich characterization.

Publisher’s Weekly


Patricia Falvey’s lovely and deeply romantic novel, THE GIRLS OF ENNISMORE, is more than a finely detailed and well researched chronicle of the tumultuous and sweeping social changes in Ireland at the turn of the last century. It is a richly imagined story of two friends—one woman born to wealth and privilege, the other born in poverty and facing a life of servitude— whose abiding friendship proves stronger than blood ties, an unforgiving class system, and even the ravages of war.

Kathleen Kent, Bestselling Author of author of THE HERETIC’S DAUGHTER


A captivating portrayal of life in Ireland – above and below stairs – during the years leading up to the Great War and the Irish rebellion. Engaging, atmospheric and packed with rich historical detail I thoroughly enjoyed THE GIRLS OF ENNISMORE.

Hazel Gaynor, NYT and USA Today bestselling author of THE GIRL WHO CAME HOME and A MEMORY OF VIOLETS,
and IRISH TIMES BOOK AWARDS SHORTLISTED NOVEL, THE GIRL FROM THE SAVOY


Drawn from her own family background, Patricia Falvey has crafted an engaging narrative of class differences, sibling entanglements, inheritance of grand Irish estates, and the potential loss of them, finding home, finding love, all set against the turbulent 1916 Easter Uprising in Ireland, a passionate attempt to gain Irish Home Rule while at the same time, a domestic attempt to pass off a peasant girl as a genuine lady of the gentry. Although consequences of this ruse result in family division, in the end, Irish triumph depends on optimism and humor, which makes for a complex and enjoyable read.

Susan Vreeland, Bestselling Author of CLARA AND MR. TIFFANY, THE GIRL IN HYACINTH BLUE, LISETTE’S LIST


Patricia Falvey tells the story of some of Ireland’s most turbulent years through the lives of two very different women who are intimately connected. Exciting and moving.
