Danielle Steel has done it again! In her 28th best-selling novel, No Greater Love, she relives through the swirling emotions and the agonizing pain that many people had gone through during one of the most momentous event in history: the sinking of the Titanic. Edwina Winfield is a daughter of two dear, loving parents. She has six brothers and sisters whom she all loves dearly. Edwina is left to take care of them when her parents and fiancé drowns in the terrible sinking of the Titanic. Edwina decides to dedicate and give up her life to raising her siblings. Edwina struggles to keep her family together and for twelve years, she commits her entire heart and soul into her family. Through many moments that make you laugh and cry, you will experience, as if you were right there with the characters, the growth and pains of the family as they learn to adjust and live with the huge tragedy that they had experienced and survived through. No Greater Love is one of those books that you can't seem to put down. I enjoyed it tremendously. The story plot is remarkably realistic, and you will actually feel as if you are living in that era and witnessing the sinking of the Titanic. The hardships that Edwina and her family endure throughout the story will pull at your heart and the tears will fall freely. The book makes you feel a range of emotions. There will be moments when tears of sadness and pity will fall, but there will also be times when the talents of Danielle Steel will make you sit back and laugh. No Greater Love is one of those rare books where you will be interested throughout the whole story, from the first until the last page of the book. This book is an extremely emotional and sensational book. Through her many talents, Danielle Steel helps you feel the reality and contiguity that the catastrophe of the sinking of the Titanic brought. The shock and impact of the disaster that the survivors must have felt are shown clearly and you could just feel the pain and sorrow each character from the story experiences. No Greater Love is a book I recommend to all. It gives many people a chance to go back to the sinking of the Titanic and see exactly how significant the event was. It is a book you definitely should read, and I'm telling you, it would definitely be your loss if you don't!

A deeply moving story about family love, and survival.

I loved every second of this book! I got so involved with these characters that I felt like I actually knew them. This story is so well written, that the reader feels like he/she is experiencing everything that the Winfields experienced. The part about the sinking of the Titanic was so realistic, that now I am afraid to ever get on a ship! This is the kind of book that you hate to finish, because you never want to say goodbye to these characters.

I've NEVER read a book as powerful and enticing as this one!

This book was EXCELLENT!!! except the part, when Alexis runs away with that older guy, I just wanted to jump into the book and slap her!

An excelent book.

I have read No Greater Love 3 times and I love it every time. It is so touching and sad I cry every time I read it. I would recommend this book to anyone. IT IS FABULOUS!
