Narration Concering 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 TrinkleParticularize Books In Pursuance Of No Greater Love

A 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.it is a good book.talks about 6kids that lost parents on a titanic.and the elder daughter lost a fiance as well.She had to be strong,give up some of the things to take care of her brothers and sisters.She had to run her fathers company in the hope that the elder son will graduate to come and run the company.Unfortunatly he died in a millitary war and they had to deal with another loss and @ the end she sold the company.It talks about the great love that this lady has for her siblings.She loved
I am not a huge Danielle Steel fan, but I have to list this as one of my favorite books of all time. It was the first book I read for just pure pleasure. I read this book the summer before I was a sophomore in college and it still remains one of my favorites. I loved the richness of the characters and the passage of time in the book through the Titanic, World War 1, etc.
What a soulful book this is! I loved each and every part of this tantalizing tale. I have never read any character as charming as Edwina. This is one such book that can move you to tears. The kind where you get emotionally connected to the story. Danielle Steel's magical words will stay in my heart forever. Looking forward to read more of her works.
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 at
great read.........loved it. Daniell Steel is one of my favorite Authors. When she writes, it is like being right there through the whole story.
This book was so great!!! The beginning was so heartbreaking, but I loved it!
