My Life in the shadow of Titanic: A story of love, loss and lies – Christopher Ward | 5pm
Christopher Ward grew up in the shadow of Titanic, his mother the illegitimate daughter of one of the heroic bandsmen. After her death, Christopher wrote a best-seller about his young grandfather.

Five years later, in a chance encounter in Jamaica, he discovers that his mother lived and died unaware that she had a half-brother 5,000 miles away. And then…the further revelation that Christopher himself has cousins back in Britain. They meet and find love, friendship and forgiveness.
