This was a pretty quick read, a slim book, but a story well told.
We travel on the Titanic with a group of bright young things, all the usual pains of growing up (albeit with lots of money), and there are intrigues and conflicts in their relationships and in the past of our narrator. And then there's an iceberg, and the band played on.
It kept me entertained for a few days, anyway.
