To my Mother
Praise for Walter Lord’s A Night to Remember
PENGUIN BOOKS
‘Absolutely gripping and unputdownable.’
‘Walter Lord singlehandedly revived interest in the Titanic… an electrifying book.’
‘A Night to Remember was a new kind of narrative history—quick, episodic, unsolemn. Its immense success inspired a film of the same name three years later.’
‘Devotion, gallantry… Benjamin Guggenheim changing to evening clothes to meet death; Mrs Isador Straus clinging to her husband, refusing to get in a lifeboat; Arthur Ryerson giving his lifebelt to his wife’s maid… A book to remember.’
‘Seamless and skilful… it’s clear why this is many a researcher’s Titanic bible.’
‘Enthralling from the first word to the last.’
