Fiona Farrell's new book is a marvellous and wise account of life in Christchurch after the earthquakes. . . Some of us have been waiting for a book like this about the earthquakes and the years after; a book this literate, considered and insightful. . . . Farrell's book gets some of this communal experience and conveys the right sense of outrage. Yet it can also be funny. Her opening pages, in which she reviews the bombastic media launch of the blueprint in 2012, must be some of the sharpest writing about the rebuild so far . . . It is true to say that this is also a political book. Fair enough, too, as the recovery is a political story. . . . The book is packed with thinking but the wisdom is, as reviewer Paul Little said, "laid lightly upon the page". Everyone is sure to learn something. Roman philosophers are consulted. The lovely word "solastalgia" is cited. . . .
