The author not only introduced us to the musician as far back as his birth, but he also took the reader beyond the sinking and went on to talk about life for the family left behind, including the descendants of each musician. Reading this part of the book made me think beyond the musician as a specific person and made me contemplate human life/death in general: it was almost humbling to realize the impact (or lack of impact) that can be made by a single person.
I originally selected this book to review as it was a break from both fiction and spiritually "challenging" books. I somewhat enjoyed it for that reason alone, but think it would mostly appeal to a Titanic buff or at least someone interested in a look at life back in the early 1900's.
