Newport Non-Fiction Book Club

Join us on the last Tuesday of the Month as we discuss non-fiction books.  New members always welcome.  This month we will be discussing Gilded Lives by Hugh Brewster.

Summary: The Titanic has been called "an exquisite microcosm of the Edwardian era," but that unique facet of her story has never been explored. Now historian Hugh Brewster seamlessly interweaves personal narratives of the lost liner's most fascinating people with a haunting account of her fateful maiden crossing. Gilded Lives, Fatal Voyage takes us behind the paneled doors of the ship's elegant, private suites to evoke a world both distant from and near to our own.
