Touching and heartbreaking story of what it was like on the Titanic. I had a bit of a hard time getting into it but once I did it was an easy read. very good book.

The first half was very good.

The second half wasn’t.

I liked the character of Reg throughout but with so many characters, the rest felt like clutter.

I was keen to read about the Titanic aftermath but (except Reg) these characters just didn’t engage me enough.

I really enjoyed this book! I was given this book in a stack from a friend and chose it at random. It is a fictional story that covers the lives of several people who are on the Titanic and their subsequent lives. There's a little mystery, a little romance and really good character development. The writing was compelling and kept me hooked. Definitely a fun and very captivating read! I will definitely read another book by this author in the future.

An enjoyable read but I thought The Secret Wife was much better.

I enjoyed the first half of this book much more than the second half. I found it hard to sympathize with most of the survivors that the story focused on, and even the main character, Reg, really began to bother me. In the end I liked the book well enough.

Another tale of the Titanic - this one about the lives of invented characters during and after the ship sank. I enjoyed it - an easy quick read.
