This is a wonderful novel about the musicians on the last voyage of the Titanic. It is actually a collection of short stories, describing the lives of each of the musicians and what led them to be on this voyage. Thus, it is more of a story about European musicians in each area of Europe than it is a story about the Titanic.

A magnificent read. Wonderfully articulate and fabulous prose and descriptions. I forced myself to read it thoroughly and luxuriate in the wonderful descriptive paragraphs. However, to say the least, an enigmatic book. Three main disconnected stories with a short ending that ties clearly into one of the 3 stories. But I didn't get it! But no matter.

A fictional account of musicians aboard the Titanic, taking in not only the events of the fateful voyage, but their back stories in some depth. These stories range across Europe and are utterly absorbing in themselves, and parallel each other in their depiction of lives swerving from what those living them had planned. Skilled writing combined with great stories, highly recommended.
