It burnt for seventy-four days, consuming nearly 5000 square kilometres of land, destroying well over 500 homes and leaving many people shattered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronwyn Adcock fled the inferno with her children. Her husband, fighting at the front, rang with a plea for help before his phone went dead, leaving her to fear: will he make it out alive?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Currowan, Bronwyn tells her story and those of many others – what they saw, thought and felt as they battled a blaze of never-before-seen intensity. In the aftermath, there were questions: why were resources so few that many faced the flames alone? Why was there back-burning on a day of extreme fire danger? Why weren’t we better prepared?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrowan is a portrait of tragedy, survival and the power of community. Set against the backdrop of a nation in the grip of an intensifying crisis, this immersive account of a region facing disaster is a powerful glimpse into a new, more dangerous world – and how we build resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dead Ink Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53024763216209,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6907\/1697\/files\/9781911585909.jpg?v=1770816880","url":"https:\/\/deadinkbooks.com\/products\/currowan-bronwyn-adcock","provider":"Dead Ink Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
