‘Oh gosh, is that the time! Sorry, I have to go,‘ the man mumbled evasively, as he stood up and reached for his bag.

An impulse buy at Manly Lifeline. Not an author I know of, but I'm always interested in NZ writers. Fascinating historical fiction about a catastrophic eruption in the late 1800s, including the destruction of the famed Pink and White Terraces.

Apparently it was aimed at 9 -12 year olds, but the content could be distressing (searching for survivors and bodies). Sobering read in the light of the 2019 Whakaari eruption.

Teresereading And I realised yesterday that I have a fridge magnet from the Buried Village from a visit about 10 years ago! Synchronicity! 1mo
