Aftershocks explores the ways in which grief can affect not only
individuals, but communities at large from award-winning author, Anne
Fine.
A family mix-up means Louie has to tag along with his engineer father
and his team as they head for a routine job in the farthest flung and
most neglected province of the Federation.
A massive earthquake, with ensuing tsunami, devastates the entire
isolated coastal region, laying bare the other-worldly manner in which
the silent and strange Endlanders deal with life, death and the
hinterlands of memory and loss. Their curious and unsettling ways raise
ghosts for Louie, who has recently lost his own brother.
