Frances Wilson, the author of Literary Seductions and The Courtesan's Revenge, has returned to the story of the Titanic in order to understand the emotionally doomed man who both created the ship and was partly responsible for its calamitous end. Using the Ismay family archives including correspondence between the married Ismay and a first-class passenger named Marian Thayer, whose husband drowned in the disaster and with whom Ismay seems to have fallen in love during the voyage - Wilson reimagines the competing versions of the epoch-making event. What makes How to Survive the Titanic such an unusual and creative book.
