Synopsis
Titanic Love Stories by Gill Paul
Love stories from the Titanic include a multi-millionaire John Jacob Astor and his wife Madeleine, who had eloped to escape the gossip-mongers. Only Madeleine and their unborn child would make it home. Then there was Daniel Marvin, whose wedding to Mary Farquarson was the first recorded on film. The groom helped his young bride onto a life raft but refused to save himself. And there were Edward and Ethel Beane, who had saved up for six years to get married and lost everything on the Titantic. They survived, but refused ever to talk about what happened to them.
About the Author
|
Gll Paul lives in London, where she runs her own company producing books for publishers and has worked as an editor and researcher for some eminent historians. Her previous novels include Enticement and Compulsion. She has written several nonfiction books, including Titanic Love Stories (2011), about the honeymoon couples on board the doomed ship. During the course of her research, Gill talked to relatives and friends of survivors and became passionately interested in everything to do with the Titanic. The main character in Women and Children First was inspired by a photograph of a very handsome young man, who was a steward in first class, and who died. Nothing is known of what happened to him, and little is known of his background. Gill invented the character of Reg Parton with his picture in mind.
