In 2009, as the Black Saturday wildfires swept through the state of
Victoria, Australia, writer and historian Robert Kenny defended his
home in Redesdale. His fire plan was sound and he was prepared.
But, the reality of the fire was more ferocious and more
unpredictable than he could have imagined. By the end of the day,
Kenny's house and the life contained within were gone. The years
that followed were marked by grieving, recovering, and eventually
rebuilding - a process starkly framed by the choice between
remembering and forgetting. This resulting book is a riveting story
of personal loss, woven with intellectual and historical
investigations of: fire in the Australian landscape; mythologies of
fire; and ideas of loss, home, and community. Offering something of
value for the victims of wildfires, this personal account is
stimulating writing, edged with beauty, grief, and hope. *** ." . .
a tapestry of personal testimony, historical meditation and
mythological reflection that is brilliant, moving and powerful." -
Tom Griffiths, author of Forests of Ash
