Watch Jane Bowron discuss her book, her life and a city that will never be the same on TVNZ’s Good Morning

A thorough review of Jane’s book on Stuff – a book that gives you a friendly walk through a disturbing reality.

Bowron hits just the right note, with wry observational humour and insight. She doesn’t big-note emotionally but the pain, bewilderment and determination to keep on going are all there. – Peter Wells
