Having been a fan of Out of Africa, i enjoyed this book. Paula McLains's descriptions and style are first-rate.

I thoroughly enjoyed this retelling of the sinking of the Lusitania. The book puts the reader back into the time period and when reading of the sinking itself, I felt like I was there. The details were amazing. I got confused keeping track of all the different passengers, …more so the Cast of Characters was helpful. Anyone interested in World War 1 history will likely fine this a "good read". (less)
