IamOneill said An essay of desperate sadness and inspiring resilience. I challenge anyone to read the poem that prefaces the novel, and not be moved.This book is a powerful account of a dreadful, and perhaps avoidable, tragedy. If you are an Aussie the book is a must read as it provides insight into an event we are all familiar with. If you are not an Aussie, you will be staggered by the events in this novel, you will wonder how it is that you didn't know more . A. Harding said Stories from those who lived a day of hell on earth. Adrian has written a book of captivating and very personal stories which should be told again and again, to celebrate the lives lost and the heroic efforts of a few who lived to pass on their experiences surviving the inferno of a most horrific Australian bushfire.
