An eye-opening story based on fact of what happened when everyday lives met the forces of nature 70 years ago. A gripping read...
Really enjoyed this well researched story of a devastating but largely forgotten disaster. Through the lives of beautifully written characters the reader gets a taste of the power of nature and the vulnerability of rural life.’
