Narrative Toward Books No Greater Love
While hearts may go on after a tragedy occurs, they are never the same. Prolific bestselling author Danielle Steel revisits this familiar theme in No Greater Love. Twenty-year-old Edwina Winfield is forced to assume the role of head of the household, becoming both mother and father to her five younger siblings after her parents and beloved fiancé drown during the disastrous sinking of the Titanic. Determined never to marry, Edwina must also run the family newspaper until her younger brothers are old enough to step in. But next-in-line Phillip heads first to Harvard and then is tragically killed during World War I. Fun-loving George is wooed by the lights of Hollywood and exquisite sister Alexis follows in his footsteps. While tending to the youngest children, Fannie and Teddy, Edwina must assist the rest of her siblings out of their many scrapes and escapades. Along the way, she comes to terms with her loss and is finally able to put the events of the fateful night of April 15, 1912, the night the Titanic made its final voyage to the bottom of the sea, behind her and let love into her heart once more. --Alison TrinkleItemize Books As No Greater Love

It's more of a 2.5 rating.Word of warning: only the beginning of the book is set on the Titanic, so don't pick this up if you're interested in only reading about the doomed ship. However, it's a lovely exploration of familial bonds and surviving that traumatic night.Everything about it screams of the cheesy, almost airport paperback, novels your mum or great aunt secretly read but I found it increasingly difficult to put down, helped by the fact it's exceptionally easy to read [anyone looking atA story about the 'perfect' family and what happens to them after the sinking of the Titanic. Rather predictable and very simplistically written, which makes for a very fast and easy read. You feel bad for the family and all that the children endure during the sinking. But as their lives move on the story just gets a little grating on how the eldest daughter struggles to keep the family together. It is a nice story of overcoming fears and prejudices.
Because Im a sucker for all things Titanic, I grabbed this book from the library booksale shelf several years ago. This is the first Danielle Steel novel Ive read. I liked it a lot because of the subject material, because it falls into my favorite genre (historical fiction), but mostly because it was a really good story. Edwinas unselfish care of her siblings after the deaths of her parents and fiancé is heartbreakingly beautiful. She never thinks of all that she is missing in life except in

This is yet another beautiful book written by Danielle Steel. Being inspired by the tragedy of Titanic, Danielle Steel weaves a story about a family who survived the tragedy. Having lost both parents and finance, Edwina struggles to bring up her siblings and run the family business. Although suffering from her own grief, she nevertheless put her feelings secondary to play both the mother and father role to her younger siblings. In Edwina, Ms. Steel has created a strong, courageous woman whom
This was the first time I have ever picked up a Danielle Steel book and I couldnt put the novel down. Im not sure if it was due to my love of the story of the titanic but there was something about this book. Not only did it pull at my hear strings and I think I cried every other chapter but the bond this family Steel writes about was magnificent. Sometimes its hard to write a review but then you find a book like this one and the words just seem to fly off of your finger tips! Edwina, the main
Read this 20 years ago but wanted it on my Read list as it's one of my all time favourites, definitely my favourite Danielle Steel novel.
