Join us in the American Veterans Auditorium as we discuss The Last Lifeboat by Hazel Gaynor. The novel tells the story of a group of children and escorts evacuated from England to Canada during World War II, who survive a U-boat attack that sinks their ship, the SS Carlisle. The novel focuses on the experiences of Alice, a chaperone, and Lily, a mother who must decide whether to send her children away. The story highlights the courage and resilience of those in the lifeboat as they navigate the harsh realities of the storm-tossed Atlantic.
