Only two or three chapters are spent on the Titanic, so it really is mis-titled, but well worth the read for all her other experiences, adventures and perspectives. It seems unfortunate that she spent her life serving the wealthy on ocean-liners rather than as an author, as I expect she could have been one of those being served. Violet Jessop is an extra-ordinary writer and an engaging storyteller.
