The Magic Ship tells the story of the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, a luxury German ocean liner that becomes a floating island of uncertainty when World War I breaks out mid-crossing. As the ship seeks refuge in a small Maine harbor to avoid capture, the passengers and crew find themselves caught between their glamorous past and an uncertain, volatile future.\n\nSandra Paretti, a master of European historical fiction, weaves a lush narrative of star-crossed lovers and aristocratic intrigue. The novel captures the fading brilliance of the Edwardian era, contrasting the opulence of the \"floating palace\" with the harsh realities of global conflict. Through shifting loyalties and clandestine affairs, Paretti explores the fragility of peace and the enduring power of hope in a world set adrift. This edition is perfect for readers who enjoy grand-scale maritime adventures and poignant wartime dramas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48750354170075,"sku":"2026200005177-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8ee5f90e-c0db-4c77-9e10-91e495dff2a9.png?v=1778094961","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005177-secondhand-the-magic-ship","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
