    About this ebook

    Praise for Gill Paul:
    ‘A cleverly crafted novel and an enthralling story… A triumph.’ DINAH JEFFERIES

    ‘Gripping, romantic and evocative of its time.’ LULU TAYLOR

    It is 1912. Against all odds, the Titanic is sinking.
    As desperate hands emerge from the icy water, a few lucky row boats float in the darkness. On the boats are four survivors.

    Reg, a handsome young steward working in the first-class dining room; Annie, an Irishwoman travelling to America with her children; Juliet, a titled English lady who is pregnant and unmarried, and George, a troubled American millionaire.

    In the wake of the tragedy, each of these people must try to rebuild their lives.
    But how can life ever be the same again when you’ve heard over a thousand people dying in the water around you?

    Haunting, emotional and beautifully written, Women and Children First breathes fresh life into the most famous disaster of the 20th century. A gripping read from the bestselling author of The Secret Wife.

    Gill Paul

    Gill Paul has written thirteen historical novels, many of them re-evaluating extraordinary 20th-century women whom she thinks have been marginalized or misjudged by historians. Her books have reached the top of the US, Canadian, and UK charts, and have been translated into twenty-three languages. Gill was born and raised in Scotland, apart from an eventful year at school in the US when she was ten. She worked as an editor in nonfiction publishing, then as a ghostwriter, before giving up the “day job” to write fiction full-time. She is also an events organizer for the Historical Writers Association. Gill loves wild swimming year-round, arranging parties, and traveling whenever and wherever she can.
