Julie Cook has provided a harrowing and emotional story of the Titanic's impact on those left behind. A tragic history of the vulnerable but the brave, as well as a tribute to the enduring power of family. The story of the disaster's widows uplifts and devastates in equal measure. --Gareth Russell, author of The Ship of Dreams: The Sinking of the Titanic and the End of the Edwardian Era Overall Julie Cook has done a pretty good job of providing an insight into working class Britain in the early twentieth century; through the lens of the effect the Titanic sinking had on Southampton and its working class families. Well worth the read, even if a little bit 'heavy going' at times. It also proves the 1912 tragedy can still raise interest over 100 years after the ship plunged to its icy grave. --Northern Mariner
