"I know, I know. What new can possibly be written about the Titanic and its 1,500 victims? If best-selling storyteller Caitlin Doughty is doing the writing, quite a lot, it turns out, because she uses the famous wreck to study our fear of and fascination with death itself. She goes beyond the rescue to the recovery, explaining the myriad ways the passengers actually died at sea, how their personal effects ended up in the hands of a salvage company, and how the survivors came to terms with the tragic deaths of their loved ones—or didn’t. Trust me, you haven't read this one before, and you won't be able to put it down."
