March 30, 1968: Celine Dion is born.

And so, in honor of that somewhat dubious distinction, I shall point you back to my post about Richard Peck's fabulously frothy (seriously, the plotting puts Days of Our Lives to shame) Amanda Miranda, some of which takes part on the Titanic:

The book starts out with an omniscient narrator, but around the midway point, Miranda starts to take on more and more of the narration, and Amanda herself pipes up for at least one chapter. While it's got moments of Gothic flavor, a leetle bit of Wuthering Heights, anddefinitely some of the fun Downton Abbey/Upstairs Downstairs action, it's more like a YA Daphne du Maurier than anything else. Recommended if you like atmospheric, slow-moving-in-a-good-way historicals that deal with gossip and class and social maneuvering.

Speaking of books featuring the Titanic, I really need to read The Watch that Ends the Night. And Distant Waves. Others?
