When the Dust Settles : The gripping behind-the-scenes memoir from the UK's top disaster planner - A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The utterly unputdownable true story of a life lived at the frontline of the world's worst disasters: 'gripping' (Sunday Times), 'enthralling' (Observer), 'riveting' (Telegraph). A Sunday Times bestseller and Radio 4 Book of the Week. When a plane crashes, a bomb explodes, a city floods or a pandemic begins, Lucy Easthope's phone starts to ring . . . Lucy is a world-leading authority on recovering from disaster. She holds governments to account, supports survivors and helps communities to rebuild. She has been at the centre of the most seismic events of the last few decades, advising on everything from the 2004 tsunami and the 7/7 bombings to the Grenfell fire and the war in Ukraine. Lucy's job is to pick up the pieces and get us ready for what comes next. When the Dust Settles takes us behind the police tape to government briefing rooms and scenes of chaos, looking back at the many losses and loves of a remarkable life and career. It tells us how we can all build back after disaster.
