The Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan

I read this February 2013
For the Waterstones Book Club.
The year is 1914 Europe is on  the brink of war, a cruise liner goes down on the way to New York.
This is a story of the survivors in one of the lifeboats.  The boat is overcrowded, they have to lighten the load.  Who lives who dies... who cares - sorry but this book did not live up to expectations at all.. I was looking forward to reading it...I found it titanically tedious, trivial and torporific...
Just not the book for me.  I kept reading it hoping that the 'survivors' were actually all dead, but there wasn't even that twist to interest me...
3/10 it got published...sorry Charlotte, from the Q&A at the back you sound realy likeable, I just did not like this book...
