Description for The Midnight Watch: A gripping novel of the SS Californian, the ship that failed to aid the sinking Titanic Paperback. The Midnight Watch is at once a heart-stopping mystery and a deeply knowing novel - about the frailty of men, the strength of women, the capriciousness of fate and the price of loyalty. Num Pages: 336 pages. BIC Classification: FV. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 129 x 21. Weight in Grams: 250.

A fascinating, revelatory novel based on the true story of the ship, and its crew, that failed to come to the sinking Titanic's aid. Set on board the Californian during those terrible hours, and in Boston in the aftermath of the disaster, Antonia Senior has called 'historical fiction at its best'.
