Women and Children First by Gill Paul
relaxing
fast-paced
3.0
The book follows 4 passengers from the Titanic, as they try to get on with their lives after the disaster.
Reg-a first class steward, an all around good guy who struggles with the loss of his best friend
Lady Juliette-A young British woman of good breeding, who is traveling to America to hide a pregnancy
Annie-An Irish woman traveling alone with her 4 children to join her husband in America
Margaret and George-an American couple returning home after visiting Europe
This was a fast, fairly light read with a a good story. The writing isn't spectacular, but for a HF/Romance/ Mystery it held it's own. It was nearly a 4 star read for me, until the last third of the book. The ending to each persons story seemed a bit far-fetched to me and that annoyed me enough to cut it down to 3 stars. (less)
