What a page turner! Everything about this book--from the cinematic scenes to the real-time narrative to the vivid descriptions of the Titanic and those aboard--kept my attention from start to finish. This reads like a short story, so it's all the more fascinating to know that everything depicted is real--all too tragically so. Kaye packs so much emotion and color into this tale. I love the heroic Countess of Rothes, the endearing, doomed Strauses, and, especially, the smitten Roberta Maioni and Jack Phillips, who seem to be the real-life inspiration for Jack and Rose of the James Cameron film. This book is fabulous, the perfect way to mark the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster.
