Description
Book Synopsis: Christchurch, New Zealand. September 2010. A city sleeps. In the early hours of the morning came the noise of a freight train and a ferocious shaking the likes of which this South Island city had never before experienced. A 7.1 magnitude earthquake came without warning or prejudice and transformed a city forever, setting off a string of devastating events that were to have a lifelong impact on all who experienced them. This is a personal account of the lasting effects of that day and the effects of all the earthquakes that were to follow. This is the story of how the fury of Mother Nature changed the lives and direction of not only one family, but of every citizen of the city of Christchurch. This is my story. A very well written, very sad documentation of the terrible earthquakes to strike Christchurch. I was riveted. Liked this one... The main character was a person I would like to meet. An amazing first-hand account of what it's like to live on jello instead of solid ground.
