The dressmaker - Kate Alcott

pages: 306   published: 2012

There are probably thousands of books out there about the Titanic. But I thought this one was interesting as it focused more on AFTER the sinking of the ship rather than the actually sinking itself. I've read reviews where people complain that the "sinking" part of the story is too quick and not detailed enough. I think these readers have missed the point. The author starts the story before the sinking, in order to place the characters, but the sinking is just a passage to get to the post-sinking story, which is the main subject of the story: how the press and politicians reacted to the sinking of the Titanic, and how this event had an impact on social status in society.
