By Stevan Eldred-Grigg
On a spring day in 1947, fire tore through Ballantynes department store in the heart of Christchurch — killing 41 people and leaving a city in shock. This is their story.
Eldred-Grigg spent years researching the disaster through oral testimonies and the Royal Commission of Inquiry, speaking to over 100 people who lived through it. Most of the characters in this book are real, named, and remembered. The result is a vivid, human account of one of New Zealand's worst peacetime tragedies.
Paperback in good condition, published 1993.
