THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK CHOSEN AS A
BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE TELEGRAPH AND THE NEW STATESMAN "A
marvellous book" Rev Richard Coles "Gripping... filled with
compassion." Sunday Times "Remarkable... hopeful and uplifting."
Mail on Sunday "An antidote to despair" Daily Mirror
"Enthralling... vivid and humane" Observer "Exemplary" New
Statesman 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. Lucy takes us behind the police tape to scenes of chaos, and
into government briefing rooms where confusion can reign. She also
looks back at the many losses and loves of her life and career, and
tells us how we can all build back after disaster. When the Dust
Settles lifts us up, showing that humanity, hope and humour can -
and must - be found on the darkest days.
