Helpful Score: 1

What I loved most about this book was the way the facts were handled...this is not a bare-bones journalistic effort. Each fact is presented in such a way that I never lost sight of the fact that these people were real, the people they left behind were real, and the life they lived was not an anomaly, but the truth of every single day on that harsh coast and unforgiving sea. The fact that nobody knows exactly what happened to the ship and those aboard could drive their loved ones crazy if they let themselves think about it too long.

Facts and searing emotion, all packed together in the pages, fighting for space - I've read this book three times, and each time it made me cry.
