Women and Children First : Bravery, Love and Fate: the Untold Story of the Doomed Titanic - Thryft

Survival, tragedy and hope at sea.

Women and Children First is a touching and emotional story about the lives of four survivors of the Titanic. It offers a haunting depiction of their individual struggles to come to terms with the tragedy of the sinking, and the difficult task of rebuilding their lives. This book would be a great read for anyone who is intrigued by stories of survival, and interested in exploring the human response to catastrophe. The author's evocative and sensitive writing draws the reader in, and makes for a truly gripping read.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
