Written by Rev Richard Coles, this gripping tale is filled with hope and upliftment, offering an antidote to despair.

The Sunday Times describes it as "remarkable... hopeful and uplifting," while the Mail on Sunday calls it "an antidote to despair." The Daily Mirror praises it as "enthralling... vivid and humane," and the Observer calls it "exemplary." The New Statesman praises it as "When a plane crashes, a bomb explodes, a city floods, or a pandemic begins, Lucy Easthope's phone starts to ring."

Lucy Easthope is a world-leading authority on recovering from disaster. She holds governments to account, supports survivors, and helps communities rebuild. She has been at the center of some 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.

In When the Dust Settles, 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.

This powerful book lifts us up, showing that humanity, hope, and humor can and must be found on the darkest days. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder that we can overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
