| Publisher Description: Lilly Setterdahl's Not my time to die: Titanic and the Swedes on board, presents a brief, but thorough history of the Titanic. The book describes the conditions in Sweden in 1912, the reasons for the emigration, and profiles each of the 125 Swedes on board. The stories of the 34 survivors cover some 100 pages. The author has researched the intriguing lives of the survivors to a greater extent than anyone else. She has translated eye-witness accounts, letters, newspaper reports, and interviews that give new insight in what happened on that tragic night one-hundred years ago when the biggest steamer built-to-date foundered on its maiden voyage. |
