Book Description
It was the maiden voyage of theTitanic, the greatest ship ever built, and in one fatal, unforgettable night, the sea shattered the lives and future of an extraordinary family, the Winfields.
Edwina Winfield, returning from her engagement trip to England with her fiance and her family, instantly loses her parents, the man she loved and her dreams. Without even time to mourn, she courageously defies convention to run her family's California newspaper and care for her five younger siblings. Unable to forget her fiance Charles, she is determined never to marry, to hkeep her family together, and to fight to survive as a woman alone. But Phillip, her beloved oldest brother, sets out for Harvard and tragically betrays her trust. Madcap brother George turns to the excitement of Hollywood during its magical days, not to the Winfield publishing empire. And lovely Alexis, who narrowly escaped death when the Titanic went down, grows into a troubled runaway whom even Edwina's love may not be able to save. The two youngest, Fannie and Teddy, remain with Edwina at home.
Compelling and deeply moving, No Greater Love questions a woman's choices and the price she must pay for making them. And in an unforgettable climax, it offers an answer--as Edwina confronts the ghosts haunting her and take an extraordinary risk for her future and her heart.

While hearts may go on after a tragedy occurs, they are never the same. Prolific bestselling author Danielle Steel revisits this familiar theme in No Greater Love. Twenty-year-old Edwina Winfield is forced to assume the role of head of the household, becoming both mother and father to her five younger siblings after her parents and beloved fiancé drown during the disastrous sinking of the Titanic. Determined never to marry, Edwina must also run the family newspaper until her younger brothers are old enough to step in. But next-in-line Phillip heads first to Harvard and then is tragically killed during World War I. Fun-loving George is wooed by the lights of Hollywood and exquisite sister Alexis follows in his footsteps. While tending to the youngest children, Fannie and Teddy, Edwina must assist the rest of her siblings out of their many scrapes and escapades. Along the way, she comes to terms with her loss and is finally able to put the events of the fateful night of April 15, 1912, the night the Titanic made its final voyage to the bottom of the sea, behind her and let love into her heart once more.

From Publishers Weekly
Steel ( Heartbeat ) shamelessly plucks her readers' heartstrings in this predictably sentimental novel. In 1912, during a harrowing Atlantic crossing, 20-year-old Edwina Winfield loses her parents and fiance in the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic . She bravely shoulders full responsibility for her younger siblings--sensible Philip, wiseacre George, angelic Alexis and toddlers Fannie and Teddy--and resigns herself to spinsterhood, certain she will never wish to marry. Financially if not emotionally secure in San Francisco, she ponders the fate of their father's newspaper business, capably mothers her brood and politely declines the amorous advances of a family friend. Additional tragedy awaits in the form of WW I and, again, tears are shed, but the indomitable Winfields prevail, eventually gaining access to glamourous 1920s Hollywood. As George develops a career in the movie industry and stunning blonde Alexis dreams of stardom, readers will begin to suspect that long-suffering, virtuous Edwina might have another chance at happiness (read: true love). Steel can never be accused of subtlety, but fans of her brand of romance won't be disappointed. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club main selections; author tour.

我必须说，这本书的情感张力是惊人的。作者笔下的角色，他们的痛苦、喜悦、绝望和希望，都像潮水一样拍打着我的心。我常常在阅读过程中，会因为书中角色的遭遇而潸然泪下，又会因为他们微小的胜利而露出欣慰的笑容。那种情感的共鸣，是很多书籍难以达到的。书中的一些对话，更是充满了哲理和智慧，让我反复咀嚼，思考良久。它让我审视自己的人生，思考自己是如何对待身边的人，又是如何面对生活中的挑战的。这本书没有给出简单的答案，而是提供了一个广阔的思考空间，让读者自己去探索和发现。它教会了我，即使面对无法改变的过去，也要勇敢地走向未来；即使在孤独中，也要相信爱的存在。读完这本书，我感觉自己仿佛经历了一场灵魂的洗礼，更加坚定了面对生活的勇气。

评分这本书的语言风格非常有特色，它充满了诗意和画面感。作者的文字功底深厚，寥寥数语便能勾勒出一个生动鲜活的场景，或描绘出人物细腻复杂的情感。我常常会在阅读时停下来，细细品味那些优美的句子，仿佛在欣赏一幅幅精致的画卷。书中有很多意象的运用，比如象征着希望的光芒，象征着困境的迷雾，这些都为故事增添了丰富的层次和内涵。而且，作者的叙事节奏把握得非常好，既有紧张刺激的情节，也有舒缓宁静的篇章，读起来一点都不枯燥。我尤其欣赏作者对细节的捕捉，那些微小的动作、表情，甚至是环境的细微变化，都可能暗示着人物的内心活动或情节的发展。总而言之，这本书是一次极具艺术性的阅读体验，它不仅是一个精彩的故事，更是一场文字的盛宴。
评分这本书的叙事结构非常巧妙，作者采用了多线叙事的方式，将不同人物的故事巧妙地编织在一起，但又各自独立，最终汇聚成一个宏大的故事。一开始，我需要花费一些精力去梳理人物关系和时间线，但一旦进入状态，就会被它深深吸引。每一条线索都充满了悬念和冲突，让我忍不住想要一口气读完，看看故事最终将走向何方。作者在细节的处理上也极为用心，每一个小小的伏笔都可能在后续情节中起到至关重要的作用，这让我不得不佩服作者的构思之严谨。书中还融入了一些历史事件和社会背景，这使得故事更加立体和真实，也让我对那个时代有了一定的了解。总的来说，这本书是一场智力与情感的双重盛宴，它挑战着我的阅读习惯，但也因此带来了前所未有的阅读体验。我推荐给那些喜欢挑战、喜欢深度阅读的读者，这本书绝对不会让你失望。
评分读完这本书，我真的被深深地触动了。它讲述了一个跨越了时间与空间的爱情故事，男女主人公在经历了重重磨难后，依然坚守着彼此。那种深沉的情感，那种不离不弃的决心，让我这个平凡的读者都感受到了巨大的力量。书中的场景描写也非常细腻，无论是繁华的都市还是宁静的乡村，都仿佛近在眼前。我特别喜欢作者对人物内心世界的刻画，每一个角色都有着复杂的思想和情感，他们不是脸谱化的好人或坏人，而是活生生的人，有着自己的挣扎、痛苦和成长。尤其是在面对抉择时，他们内心的纠结和痛苦，让我感同身受。这本书不仅仅是关于爱情，它还探讨了关于牺牲、关于救赎、关于人生意义的深刻主题。读到最后，我仿佛也经历了一次心灵的洗礼，对生活有了更深的理解和感悟。这本书就像一位老友，在静静地诉说着一个关于生命中最美好事物的故事，它让我相信，即使在最黑暗的时刻，爱也能成为指引方向的光芒。
