Elizabeth Turner, Simon & Schuster, R174.95. Elizabeth Turner, two-years-married, seven-months-pregnant, went to work in London on September 11 2001


Current Font Size:

She saw on television the collapse of the Twin Towers, and knew her husband was at a meeting on the top floor of one tower. She never saw him again. This is her utterly courageous, soul-shaking, unflinchingly honest account of what the event did to her: of her descent into the Valley of the Shadow and, finally, her emergence from it. Readers will seldom encounter a more moving, ultimately inspiring personal Odyssey than this one, which culminated in Turner's formation of Ulife, an organisation dedicated to helping people through traumatic change.
