So many people from the stewards to the passengers are heroes in this tragedy. Think of it as one collective voice that moves the storyline forward. You don't really need to keep track of everyone. Don't let this trip you into not reading it. I'm never going to be able to keep track of all these people. When I first started this book I thought. Their voices are powerful and dramatic in this description of the lucky few who survived this disaster. Yet unbelievably, many survivors of the Titanic did just that in this page-turning nonfiction account of the sinking of the Titanic. That is why I cannot imagine being submerged in 28 degree water for HOURS and surviving with no limbs amputated from exposure. The water temperature was in the 50's and my teeth were chattering and blue within a short amount of time. Imagine a big block of ice being dropped onto your chest. Whooee, I was so unprepared for air whooshing out of my lungs when I hit the water.
But I found out I didn't when I decided to jump off a sailboat into Lake Superior. I grew up in the Land of 10,000 Frozen Lakes.
