No. 57: Lifeboat No. 8

Lifeboat No. 8 by Elizabeth Kaye

I read this story last month around about the time of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. I always love a good tragic story, especially one that is based on real events. And, as a result of a summer spent with a boy who had a teensy weensy Titanic obsession, I know a lot about how things really went down (no pun intended) (who am I kidding, pun totally intended)

Anyway, this is based on real people on a real lifeboat. Obviously the details were embellished by the author, but it was a very good (short) story and very engrossing.
