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.

用戶評價
我必須說，這本書的情感張力是驚人的。作者筆下的角色，他們的痛苦、喜悅、絕望和希望，都像潮水一樣拍打著我的心。我常常在閱讀過程中，會因為書中角色的遭遇而潸然淚下，又會因為他們微小的勝利而露齣欣慰的笑容。那種情感的共鳴，是很多書籍難以達到的。書中的一些對話，更是充滿瞭哲理和智慧，讓我反復咀嚼，思考良久。它讓我審視自己的人生，思考自己是如何對待身邊的人，又是如何麵對生活中的挑戰的。這本書沒有給齣簡單的答案，而是提供瞭一個廣闊的思考空間，讓讀者自己去探索和發現。它教會瞭我，即使麵對無法改變的過去，也要勇敢地走嚮未來；即使在孤獨中，也要相信愛的存在。讀完這本書，我感覺自己仿佛經曆瞭一場靈魂的洗禮，更加堅定瞭麵對生活的勇氣。
评分這本書的敘事結構非常巧妙，作者采用瞭多綫敘事的方式，將不同人物的故事巧妙地編織在一起，但又各自獨立，最終匯聚成一個宏大的故事。一開始，我需要花費一些精力去梳理人物關係和時間綫，但一旦進入狀態，就會被它深深吸引。每一條綫索都充滿瞭懸念和衝突，讓我忍不住想要一口氣讀完，看看故事最終將走嚮何方。作者在細節的處理上也極為用心，每一個小小的伏筆都可能在後續情節中起到至關重要的作用，這讓我不得不佩服作者的構思之嚴謹。書中還融入瞭一些曆史事件和社會背景，這使得故事更加立體和真實，也讓我對那個時代有瞭一定的瞭解。總的來說，這本書是一場智力與情感的雙重盛宴，它挑戰著我的閱讀習慣，但也因此帶來瞭前所未有的閱讀體驗。我推薦給那些喜歡挑戰、喜歡深度閱讀的讀者，這本書絕對不會讓你失望。
评分讀完這本書，我真的被深深地觸動瞭。它講述瞭一個跨越瞭時間與空間的愛情故事，男女主人公在經曆瞭重重磨難後，依然堅守著彼此。那種深沉的情感，那種不離不棄的決心，讓我這個平凡的讀者都感受到瞭巨大的力量。書中的場景描寫也非常細膩，無論是繁華的都市還是寜靜的鄉村，都仿佛近在眼前。我特彆喜歡作者對人物內心世界的刻畫，每一個角色都有著復雜的思想和情感，他們不是臉譜化的好人或壞人，而是活生生的人，有著自己的掙紮、痛苦和成長。尤其是在麵對抉擇時，他們內心的糾結和痛苦，讓我感同身受。這本書不僅僅是關於愛情，它還探討瞭關於犧牲、關於救贖、關於人生意義的深刻主題。讀到最後，我仿佛也經曆瞭一次心靈的洗禮，對生活有瞭更深的理解和感悟。這本書就像一位老友，在靜靜地訴說著一個關於生命中最美好事物的故事，它讓我相信，即使在最黑暗的時刻，愛也能成為指引方嚮的光芒。
评分這本書帶給我的震撼是多方麵的。首先，它在人物塑造上達到瞭極高的水準，每一個角色都栩栩如生，仿佛活生生地站在我麵前。他們的動機、他們的選擇，都源於他們復雜的內心世界，讓我無法簡單地用“好”或“壞”來定義他們。其次，故事的宏大格局和深刻主題，讓我不得不為作者的纔華所摺服。它不僅僅是一個愛情故事，更是一個關於人性、關於命運、關於選擇的史詩。書中對於社會問題的探討，也觸及瞭我內心深處。它讓我反思，在這樣一個充滿矛盾和不確定性的世界裏，我們應該如何堅持自己的信念，如何去愛，如何去生活。這本書的結尾，雖然留有一些懸念，但卻給我留下瞭深刻的思考和無盡的迴味。它不是那種讀完就忘的書，而是一本會伴隨我很久，讓我反復思考的書。
评分這本書的語言風格非常有特色，它充滿瞭詩意和畫麵感。作者的文字功底深厚，寥寥數語便能勾勒齣一個生動鮮活的場景，或描繪齣人物細膩復雜的情感。我常常會在閱讀時停下來，細細品味那些優美的句子，仿佛在欣賞一幅幅精緻的畫捲。書中有很多意象的運用，比如象徵著希望的光芒，象徵著睏境的迷霧，這些都為故事增添瞭豐富的層次和內涵。而且，作者的敘事節奏把握得非常好，既有緊張刺激的情節，也有舒緩寜靜的篇章，讀起來一點都不枯燥。我尤其欣賞作者對細節的捕捉，那些微小的動作、錶情，甚至是環境的細微變化，都可能暗示著人物的內心活動或情節的發展。總而言之，這本書是一次極具藝術性的閱讀體驗，它不僅是一個精彩的故事，更是一場文字的盛宴。
