"I was a little skeptical when first approaching this book, because seeing as it was republished in '97 the whole Leonardo Dicaprio Titanic thing was in full swing, so I was thinking that possibly the producers would manipulate the memoir to serve as a promotional tool (I know, my mind works in strange ways).
Thankfully I was wrong. The memoir barely concerns itself with the Titanic (as you read it, you quickly discover you're reading about Violet Jessop's life at sea, not the great unsinkable), devoting little more than a chapter to it. So if your interested in her first hand account of the Titanic, you could probably read that section in 5 minutes and then be done with the book.
BUT, if want to read it for its literary merits, then I would highly recommend it. The way Violet describes childhood illnesses, moving across continents, and life at sea makes you feel like your having a conversation with her, which is what any good memoir aims for. Despite the 80-year time difference, the book is highly readable and you can appreciate the Jessop's humor.
The only complaint I would have about the book is the editor's notes. While at times helpful to decipher early 20th century grammar and sayings, they tend to be redundant and serve no other purpose than to get annoyed at the editor. Actually better yet, ignore the editor. Many of the material is self-evident anyway, and if it isn't, then you can refer to the editor.
And seeing as it's a short book, this could be a good light read on a plane, or bedside reading. Definitely recommend it."
"I read this during my Titanic phase, which occurred after seeing the James Cameron mega-hit film. Fascinating that a woman who worked for the White Star Line had the misfortune of being on not one, but two, ships that sank. Also covers her years after."
