Jack is dashing and industrious – a hero of the Spanish-American war, an inventor, and a canny businessman. Despite their twenty-nine-year age difference, and the scandal of Jack’s recent divorce, Madeleine falls headlong into love – and becomes the press’s favourite target. On their extended honeymoon in Egypt, the newlyweds finally find a measure of peace from photographers and journalists. The couple plan to return home in the spring of 1912, aboard an opulent new ocean liner. When the ship hits an iceberg close to midnight on April 14th, there is no immediate panic.
