The next year she entered a long-term relationship with Alan Sharp, with whom she had her third child. In 1954 she entered a short-lived marriage and was left as a single mother of two. She fell in love with and intended to marry a former German prisoner of war in 1953, but his immigration request into Britain was denied. Over the decades her subject of choice evolved into fictionalised history novels. Even as a child she enjoyed writing, leading to her keeping a diary, taking elocution lessons, and once appearing on a children’s radio show at age eleven. Additionally, several of her novels have been adapted into films. This book is divided into four sections, each section corresponding to one of Morgan’s days.īeryl Bainbridge has won multiple prizes during her years as a novelist. The novel is narrated by Morgan, a 22-year-old rich orphan, who is a relation with J.P Morgan, who has been raised by his cousin and aunt. Bainbridge’s moving, haunting masterpiece is coming to its known and terrible end. The last secret hours of a small group of passengers are played out in her labyrinthine passageways where their fate is sealed in prose of startling, sublime beauty. In Every man for himself, the Titanic sails towards New York, glittering with luxury all over, freighted with millionaires and hopefuls in the days of her doomed maiden voyage in the year of 1912.
