Description

When Titanic foundered in April 1912, the world's focus was on the tragedy of the passengers who lost their lives.

Ever since, in films, dramatisations, adaptations and books, the focus has mostly continued to be on the ones who died. The Titanic and the City of Widows it Left Behind focuses on another group of people -the widows and children of the crew who perished on board. Author Julie Cook's great-grandfather was a stoker who died on Titanic.

Her great-grandmother had to raise five children with no breadwinner. This book focuses on Emily and the widows like her who had to fight for survival through great hardship, whilst still grieving for the men they loved who'd died on the ship.

Using original archive sources and with accounts from descendants of crew who also lost their lives, the book asks how these women survived through abject poverty and grief -and why their voices have been silent for so long.
