About this product
Product Information
An explosion at a chemical plant and sixteen men lose their lives. Eight year old Michael will never see his father again. Inspired by true events, this is one man's deeply moving journey into the past as he uncovers the truth about his father's death and his mother's life. Inspired by and based on the 1974 UK Flixborough Disaster, Britain's largest peacetime explosion until Buncefield in 2005. Told from both an adult and child's eye view, it is a deeply moving account of how the death of a parent can alter the course of a child's life. Whilst it is not an anti-corporate story, it shows how the fragmentation of corporations and outsourcing can lead to the loss of communication, common purpose and sense of responsibility with potentially devastating consequences. It's Marlene Paine's funeral, a day which has finally released her from thirty years of widowhood. Her son Michael, married and middle-aged, counts himself a happy man, but at the ceremony the unexpected appearance of a figure from the distant past brings ghosts to life, and rekindles a fire that had been smouldering for a generation. A weekend in his childhood home finds Michael sorting through his memories as he packs up his mother's life, but the more he packs her past away, the more his own unravels... Suffering the Fire is Michael's journey to understanding, uncovering secrets in his parents' past as he pieces together an explosive narrative of deception and betrayal. But just as Michael comes to terms with the truth about his father's tragic and unnecessary death, history threatens to repeat itself, with terrifying consequences. * * * Barry Hotson graduated in chemical engineering from Imperial College in the sixties. His first job was at Flixborough, near Scunthorpe, the factory which exploded disastrously in 1974. By then he was involved with projects for a multinational chemical corporation, and became their European safety consultant before retirement. Suffering the Fire is his first novel, in which fictionalised versions of Flixborough and the 2005 disaster at Buncefield bookend the plot.

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.
