The Watch That Ends the Night: Voices from the Titanic
A masterpiece. Wolf leaves no emotion  unplumbed, no area of research uninvestigated, and his voices are so  authentic they hurt. Everyone should read it.—Booklist (starred review)Wolf constructs a richly textured novel in verse that recreates the Titanic's  ill-fated journey, predominantly through the voices of her passengers... Wolf's carefully crafted characters evolve as the voyage slides to its icy  conclusion; readers may be surprised by the potency of the final impact.—Publishers Weekly (starred review)Twenty-four voices-of passengers, rats and even the iceberg-evoke the human tragedy of the ill-fated voyage.  Wolf brings the history and, more importantly, the human scale of the event to life by giving voice to the players themselves . . . A lyrical, monumental work of fact and imagination that reads like an oral history revved up by the drama of the event.—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Wolf's novel in verse gives voice, through first-person accounts, to a cross section of passengers and crew on the Titanic: how they boarded, why they're there, and how they face the disaster. . . . The themes of natural disaster, technology, social class, survival, and death all play out here.—The Horn Book (starred review)
