mrlzbth 's review for:
I really enjoyed this book about the Californian, the ship that was within sight of the Titanic but failed to come to her aid. The novel follows several of the crew members who were involved as well as a reporter trying to uncover the truth of what happened on the Californian that night. Making such a momentous mistake and missing a chance to save so many lives has to be one of our worst nightmares as human beings--Dyer does a really good job of exploring the psychological aftermath and of trying to answer the question of, "How could it have happened?" I was pleased to find such an engaging Titanic-related novel to read around the anniversary of the sinking that actually finds a new angle on things and gave me new food for thought.
