About this book

Christopher Ward's heartbreaking story of the Titanic's orchestra, "And the Band Played On," centers on the author's grandpa, violinist Jock Hume. The impact of Jock's passing is discussed throughout the book, which also provides a detailed picture of a time when social class controlled one's fate. It also reveals startling details about the author's family that had been kept under wraps for almost a century. The story is a moving account of the bravery of the band members who kept playing their instruments while the Titanic sank.
