I

"Earthquakes &
Butterflies" by Kathleen Gallagher is a photographic journal and a novel

Hone, Kara, Pieter, Kay,
Hemi, Helena, Tess - as they navigate their way through the tragedy of the
Christchurch earthquakes.
"While
buildings shake to pieces and the land breaks open we are led on journey
through time,inside the reaches of the
world of spirit, into the domain of healing." Fr John Weir NZ Writer
"This is surely one of the finest pieces of writing to come out of the Canterbury earthquakes." Jane Hole Tui Motu Dunedin NZ
"This book is a multi-voiced subtle taonga. The italicised voice mixes the expressionistic and scientific,moving from a mood of devastation to one of hope, a beautiful mahi." James George NZ writer

Butterflies" is available at Scorpio
