You're young, in love, and in paradise ... surfing, traveling,
partying. Then in one terrifying wave of heat and noise your
reality shatters into a million pieces that can never be put back
together. On October 12, 2002, a massive car bomb ripped through
the popular Kuta nightclub, the Sari Club, killing 202 people and
maiming many others. Hanabeth Luke was hamming it up on the dance
floor to cheesy pop tunes with a friend when a loud bang, like a
car back-firing, momentarily silenced the music and dimmed the
lights. Dancers stopped and heads turned, but the music and
flashing lights soon came back on and the party resumed. But only
for a few seconds ... "The noise which came next I will never
forget. It was an empty sound that did not resonate. It was a thud,
like the slam of a car door, but multiplied to a volume I simply
cannot describe," Hanabeth writes in this extraordinary memoir.
Hanabeth survived the Bali Bomb, somehow crawling through the
flaming wreckage and using fallen electrical cables to shimmy over
a four metre high concrete wall. But her boyfriend Marc Gajardo was
killed instantly in the blast. The heart-wrenching story of young
love, and lives, cut short is chilling and confronting, . Her raw
and honest account of those dreadful events brings the spectre of
terrorism into sharp and intensely personal focus. Yet it is the
story of what Hanabeth has done since which brings a spark of hope
and light to this awful chapter in our history. Confronting world
leaders, campaigning for peace and against the war on terror,
raising money and awareness, resolving to squeeze the most from
every day, Hanabeth's inspirational tale provides a stirring case
study in survival and healing.
