Customer Reviews

Excellent
Great story from Danielle Steel. This is one of the first novels I'd read of hers a few years back.

I've read this book more then once,( come to think of it I've read all her books more then once as I think she's a great author), the story was also released on video and DVD.

An easy read, it's a compulsive story, so be warned. It's like all her book, once you start reading it you can't put it down.

The story is set around a family that takes a trip on the Titanic when tragedy strikes; their family life is changed forever.

I don't want to tell you too much about the story as it will spoil it for you, and to me that wouldn't be fair.

A lovely and emotional novel by the great Danielle Steel.

A must for all fans and for people who have never read any of her books. Keep up the great work Danielle Steel. :-)

Edwina showed great courage and strenghth, in looking after her siblings, even after the death of her parents. Book about great sacrifice, love and suffering. A very good insight into her emotional development, and her qualities in letting go when neccessry. One of d.s good books.
