Last port of call by jean grainger5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Last Port of Call is the first book in The Queenstown Series. Unexpectedly, fate takes a hand, and mother and daughter find themselves thrown a lifeline, one that inextricably links them to the stories of men, women and children for whom Queenstown was the last-ever sight of Ireland as they sailed away to new lands and new lives. The small port town is shaken to its foundations at the loss of the unsinkable ship, but the revelation of a long-held secret means that Harp and Rose have a much more pressing issue to solve, one that could destroy them if they cannot find a solution. The day Titanic sails from Queenstown, taking with it the hopes and dreams of so many, Harp’s life too is devastated. Nobody ever visits the Cliff House, but Harp, Rose and Henry have a happy life together, each accepting the idiosyncrasies of the others. She behaves not as a servant should, but as someone who belongs at the ancestral home of eccentric loner Henry Devereaux. The local women envy her grace and poise while the men admire her beauty.
