![]() ![]() I’m not going to offer a summary of this book because it should be fairly obvious what happens and how it all ends. In this case, though, I couldn’t get enough because Wolf’s book was so well done, he left me desiring more. I note this because it’s rare I want to read the back matter. ![]() As much as this is a fictional story, the voices Wolf uses are actually based on real people who were aboard the ship he offers a really great guide in the back of the novel talking about the personal histories and stories upon which he based his characters, and having been so engrossed in the story, I found myself eager to read the back matter and learn more about the real histories of these people. ![]() If the title wasn’t enough of a clue, Wolf’s novel is a fictionalized account of the sailing of the Titanic in 1912. I know the book is going to ask a lot of me and I’m going to have to remember who these people are.įortunately, Allan Wolf’s The Watch that Ends the Night proved me wrong in my worry, which was a huge relief, given this book is written entirely in verse, and the idea of having to suss out multiple characters within a verse novel seemed incredibly daunting. When I pick up a book that starts with a cast list, I get nervous. ![]()
