Helpful Score: 1
The story can take you back to a time in histry , the Iitanic but has a story filled with emotions to explore and fans won't be disappinted.
In her twenty-eighth best-selling novel, Danielle Steel portrays the full breadth of human emotions as she sweeps us back to a dramatic moment in history no one will forget. The sinking of the Titanic comes alive through the Winfield family and their experiences in thos terrifying moments.
Hardcover, no dust jacket. A decent book.
Loved it!
Romantic thriller about a couple sailing on the maiden voyage of the Titantic !
A more historical and well written book.
Classic Danielle Steel
Steel ( Heartbeat ) shamelessly plucks her readers' heartstrings in this predictably sentimental novel. In 1912, during a harrowing Atlantic crossing, 20-year-old Edwina Winfield loses her parents and fiance in the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic . She bravely shoulders full responsibility for her younger siblings--sensible Philip, wiseacre George, angelic Alexis and toddlers Fannie and Teddy--and resigns herself to spinsterhood, certain she will never wish to marry. Financially if not emotionally secure in San Francisco, she ponders the fate of their father's newspaper business, capably mothers her brood and politely declines the amorous advances of a family friend. Additional tragedy awaits in the form of WW I and, again, tears are shed, but the indomitable Winfields prevail, eventually gaining access to glamourous 1920s Hollywood. As George develops a career in the movie industry and stunning blonde Alexis dreams of stardom, readers will begin to suspect that long-suffering, virtuous Edwina might have another chance at happiness (read: true love). Steel can never be accused of subtlety, but fans of her brand of romance won't be disappointed.

It was the maiden voyage of the Titanic, the greatest ship ever built, and in one fatal, unforgettable night, the sea shattered the lives and furture of an extraordinary family, the Winfields.
Edwina Winfield, returning from her engagment trip to England with her fiance and her family, instantly becomes a woman mourning the death of her parents and the man she loved. She returns to San Francisco with her five younger siblings and takes on responsibilites at the family newspaper and at home that are overwhelming and unexpected. Edwina is intent on keeping the family together and Phillip, the oldest boy, tries to help before going on to Harvard and the Great War. But madcap George, the source of laughter in the family is drawn to Hollywood, and his sister Alexis eventually follows him, courting both excitement and disaster in the film world. The two youngest, Fannie and Teddy, remain with Edwina.
For twelve years Edwina carefully avoids any romantic involvements, but as each child sets off on his or her own -- to Hollywood, to Europe, and elsewhere -- Edwina frees herself from the ghosts of those she loved and lost on the Titanic. Her life is far different than it would have been, but in some ways far more exciting than she expected.

This book is older, and shows wear on front an back cover. Still an excellent read and all pages are in tact. This is one of my favorite Danielle Steele books to date!
