Description

Always an acute observer of people and the environment,in this new book Rosie Belton once again uses her diarist style to capture with intimacy the events as they happened around her,in this case the earthquakes experienced by the people of Canterbury. And now, the result of her careful record-keeping and reflections can be read and appreciated by so many others whose lives have been affected by similarly large-scale natural disasters. It also makes excellent reading for anyone with an interest in knowing more about what it can be like to live in a seismically active country.
