Il terribile evento rivive attraverso le vicende della famiglia Winfield, di San Francisco, imbarcatasi in Inghilterra per tornare in America
nel viaggio inaugurale del transatlantico più grandioso mai costruito. In Europa, i Winfield padre, madre e sei figli, hanno festeggiato
il fidanzamento della primogenita Edwina col giovane Charles. Ma in una notte fatale, il destino di quella che era un nucleo felice e unito
viene spezzato per sempre. Il Titanic trascina con sé negli abissi marini i genitori e il promesso sposo di Edwina. Tornata a casa, pallida
ombra della fanciulla piena di sogni e speranze che era, Edwina trova una ragione di vita nella totale, affettuosa dedizione ai fratelli e
nell'impegno nell'azienda paterna. Sorvegliati dalla sua saggia presenza, i ragazzi crescono e imboccano strade diverse: non sempre
approvate dalla loro tutrice. Quando anche i più piccoli si staccano dal rifugio della sua ala protettrice, Edwina, dopo dodici anni di silenziosi
sacrifici, riesce a liberarsi dai fantasmi del passato e ad aprirsi a un nuovo amore e una nuova esistenza, finalmente serena. Coinvolgente e
ricco di emozioni come sempre, questo avvincente romanzo della celebre autrice tocca le corde più intime del cuore, dipingendo al contempo
un accurato quadro di un'epoca densa di fatti e cambiamenti.
