This book was gorgeous. I may be wearing Titanic obsession glasses that I cannot shed, but honestly I was absolutely enthralled by this book. From the description I expected a slow moving picture of the events of the night the Titanic sank from onboard the Californian, the Titanic, and a little bit of the reporter's story back in America. But no. So much no. The first few chapters are a haunting picture of the midnight watch the night the Titanic sank. From there was travel along with the main narrator, the reporter as he searches for the truth about what really happened on board the Californian and why it did not go to the aid of the Titanic.
I felt so many things. Pity, sorrow, anger at these men for their choices and their situation.
This book was masterfully written and the research about the real events, the inquiries, and the general reception of the public to the disaster is beautifully laid out. Dyer, has a wonderful way with words, and he just draws in so far into the story you almost believe that this could be the TRUTH about what happened.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who shares my fascination with the Titanic.
