When the Dust Settles: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. 'A marvellous book' -- Rev Richard Coles

Product Information

While Easthope has seen for herself that there is life after tragedy, she also understands that “disaster is perpetual, chronic, with a pain that ebbs and flows like tides”.

Easthope makes no secret of her anger, but takes care that it should be properly understood and directed, and doesn't create more stigma, fear, defensiveness and failure. The ‘artisan’ result was quietly scrapped when families complained that they had been shocked by the flecked paper, thinking that the little imperfections were bits of blood or ash. When the dust settles, after earthquakes, fires, floods, explosions, mass killings, pandemics, nuclear incidents, mining disasters, chemical attacks, plane crashes and volcanic eruptions, she must be there, to assess, to recover, to identify and to rebuild; to assist with the long-term recovery of communities. This is so inspiring and uplfiting, and I am full of admiration and gratitude for Lucy and those who work alongside her. I appreciated Lucy Easthope's personal focus on recovering personal items and centering the recovery on the survivors being able to grieve and move on in the best way for them.

There she is given the chance to undo her regrets and try out each of the other lives she might have lived. Payments made using National Book Tokens are processed by National Book Tokens Ltd, and you can read their Terms and Conditions here.
