AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'On Ash Wednesday, 16 February 1983, much of the Adelaide Hills was destroyed by bushfires. One particular family lost everything they owned and their lives were changed forever. This is a real story, retold as fiction. The writing conveys with agonising immediacy the experience of devastation and loss.' (Publication summary)
