Lisa Wilkinson: The Titanic Story of Evelyn

An epic and untold true story.

The Titanic Story of Evelyn reveals the extraordinary life of Evelyn Marsden, a brave Australian nurse and the only Australian-born survivor of the Titanic disaster.

Through Evelyn's eyes, this unforgettable story captures both the best and worst of humanity on one of the most tragic nights in modern history.

When the Titanic sank, Evelyn was not only a survivor - she was a hero.

Amid the chaos and terror, she worked tirelessly to help others reach safety, placing herself at the heart of one of the world's greatest maritime tragedies.

Exhaustively researched and beautifully written, Lisa Wilkinson's first work of historical non-fiction brings new depth and humanity to the Titanic story, uncovering Evelyn's remarkable and uniquely Australian journey.

In conversation with journalist Amy Remeikis, Lisa Wilkinson shares the powerful story of a courageous woman whose legacy deserves to be remembered.
