Narration Concering Books No Greater Love
While hearts may go on after a tragedy occurs, they are never the same. Prolific bestselling author Danielle Steel revisits this familiar theme in No Greater Love. Twenty-year-old Edwina Winfield is forced to assume the role of head of the household, becoming both mother and father to her five younger siblings after her parents and beloved fiancé drown during the disastrous sinking of the Titanic. Determined never to marry, Edwina must also run the family newspaper until her younger brothers are old enough to step in. But next-in-line Phillip heads first to Harvard and then is tragically killed during World War I. Fun-loving George is wooed by the lights of Hollywood and exquisite sister Alexis follows in his footsteps. While tending to the youngest children, Fannie and Teddy, Edwina must assist the rest of her siblings out of their many scrapes and escapades. Along the way, she comes to terms with her loss and is finally able to put the events of the fateful night of April 15, 1912, the night the Titanic made its final voyage to the bottom of the sea, behind her and let love into her heart once more. --Alison TrinkleRating About Books No Greater Love

It's more of a 2.5 rating.Word of warning: only the beginning of the book is set on the Titanic, so don't pick this up if you're interested in only reading about the doomed ship. However, it's a lovely exploration of familial bonds and surviving that traumatic night.Everything about it screams of the cheesy, almost airport paperback, novels your mum or great aunt secretly read but I found it increasingly difficult to put down, helped by the fact it's exceptionally easy to read [anyone looking atI felt like the author was teasing me with plot ideas. The book starts with tragedy (The Titanic) and then the whole way through I felt like other bad things were going to happen to the family. A couple of bad things did happen but not as many as it seemed could happen by the writing. Then, near the end of the book, the main character does something so OUT of character for her, that when the book quickly finished with what I thought would happen all along, I was frustrated and in disbelief.

great read.........loved it. Daniell Steel is one of my favorite Authors. When she writes, it is like being right there through the whole story.
What a soulful book this is! I loved each and every part of this tantalizing tale. I have never read any character as charming as Edwina. This is one such book that can move you to tears. The kind where you get emotionally connected to the story. Danielle Steel's magical words will stay in my heart forever. Looking forward to read more of her works.
Between 2.5 and 3 stars. I would've loved this book in middle school! I liked the Titanic aspect and it surprised me that this was written before the movie came out. The elements of the boarding, first class life, and the sinking were exactly like the movie. I didn't like the flow of them book and it would definitely have been edited way down had it been written in current time. There were no real paragraphs or start/stop to people's thoughts. The titanic part is over relatively quickly and then
Read this 20 years ago but wanted it on my Read list as it's one of my all time favourites, definitely my favourite Danielle Steel novel.
