Description

The Titanic's doomed maiden voyage is a moment of tragic beauty, captured in prose of startling subtlety. Over the course of four fraught days, the lives of a small group of passengers are played out in the ship's labyrinthine passageways, their fate sealed in a narrative of haunting power. Beryl Bainbridge's masterpiece is a moving and profound exploration of human nature, one that probes the complexities and contradictions of the human experience. As the ship hurtles towards its terrible end, the passengers' secrets and stories are revealed in a series of poignant and unforgettable moments. This is a powerful and moving novel, one that will stay with readers long after the final page has been turned.
