The Blue Island

More about the book

The narrative centers on W. T. Stead, a journalist who perished in the Titanic disaster while en route to a peace congress. His daughter, Estelle, a spiritualist, sought to connect with him through a medium, Pardoe Woodman, who had predicted the tragedy. The resulting work, published a decade later, presents Stead's insights on his death and the afterlife, conveyed through automatic writing. This exploration of communication beyond the grave intertwines themes of loss, spirituality, and the quest for understanding in the face of tragedy.
