OLDER FICTION
Peck, Richard

Amanda/Miranda

(2) YA Peck has edited his 1980 adult novel to offer a delicious melodrama for young adults. Miranda is the personal maid to Amanda, a headstrong English heiress who schemes to work their uncanny physical resemblance to her advantage. But it's Miranda who pulls off the switch of the century, when Amanda drowns in the Titanic disaster. The page turner has rainy days and summer reading written all over it.
