And the Band Played On - Christopher Ward















And the Band Played On - Christopher Ward (2011)

With the 100 year anniversary of the Titanic sinking coming up, one can expect a slew of books and repeats of the boat movie to come up, but that's ok, it's one of those stories that we all enjoy.  This one is written by the grandson of one of the violinists who played on the deck as the boat went down.  Leaving behind a pregnant girlfriend, we learn about the bitter father, the distraught sister and the ruthless employers. 

An interesting wee read, I enjoyed learning more about the sinking, and for that it is a 3/5.
