Gabriella Saab brings a fresh perspective to a moment we think we know, combining vivid historical detail with narrative urgency to deliver a novel that resonates today and is both powerful and compulsively readable.'--Brisa Carleton, author of Last Call at the Savoy

'Titanic meets The Gilded Age meets Edith Wharton in Gabriella Saab's The Survivors Guild, which is at once an emotional exploration of the privilege of life after tragedy and a scathing critique of the layers of society, class, and gender inequality that must be stripped away, not unlike a sparkling Edwardian evening gown in the depths of the Atlantic, to reveal the hope and humanity that lies at the heart of all of us.'--Olesya Salnikova Gilmore, author of The Fortune Tellers of Rue Daru
