The sinking of the RMS Titantic was a terrible tragedy for all the 1517 people who died - but the stories of the 13 newly-wed couples who joined the ship to celebrate their honeymoons are especially poignant.

I have always loved the Titanic ever since I first heard Leo claim to be the king of the world. When I first discovered the story, I spent months scavenging my bookstores and libraries for any book based upon it or offered a different perspective. The Titanic disaster is one of the things I know most about in this world. Strangely enough, this particular book had been on my Chapters wishlist for ages. I had no intention of buying it, and had I not found it at a second-hand bookstore where I was looking for my fourth book to get my fifth book free, I probably would never have read it. For those who are Titanic aficionados like myself, it really doesn't offer anything new. It tells the stories of the (more than I expected) honeymooning couples on board the ship. Most are in first class, some are in second, and a few are in third. The trouble with Titanic stories about the third class is that hardly any information remains about them. Chances are, both would have died. They wouldn't have left much behind. Their stories can, at best, only be speculated. First class on the other hand, will have archives about the lives of the rich and famous. But, if you like to read stories about hope and love, I suppose these will get at you. It really is heartbreaking when realising how many couples and families, more than just in this book, were separated that night forever. Any way you look at this, you will probably end up sad but if the Titanic interests you at all, it's worth the read anyhow.
