As the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the
Titanic approaches in April 2012, the haunting story of
the doomed liner has lost none of its allure. A host of
commemorative events are planned for the centenary, and
with many Titanic books set to hit the market, the
question arises as to how this one will stand out from
the others. Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage is a fresh take
on this everpopular subject through the prism of the
lives of the Titanic's first class passengers - woven
into a gripping account of the ship's short life. The
ship has often been called a microcosm of the Edwardian
era - this has never been more true than it is presented
in this book. In other accounts of the Titanic the ship
is the protagonist and those on board merely bit part
players. Here, its leading characters are moved into the
foreground and their stories intertwined with the
powerful narrative arc of the doomed voyage. The book
probes into the lives of those on board in a way that no
other account has done.Here we find some of Britain's
and America's leading society figures engaged in illicit
homosexual relationships, flaunting extra-marital
affairs and openly risking scandal in the ballrooms of
the world's most famous ship, oblivious of the disaster
that lay in the seas ahead. |
