Schaffert (The Perfume Thief) tinkers somewhat with the historical record (according to the Titanic Historical Society, the ship wasn’t racially segregated) in a novel offering lessons about love and literature that transcend time.

It helps to have some familiarity with physics, but this book is accessible with clear explanations, a sprinkling of humor, and a dash of poetry. The combination makes for an engaging follow-up to Cliff’s previous book, How To Make an Apple Pie from Scratch.
