Overview
A National Bestseller
For many, the past few years have been defined by climate disaster. Stories about once-in-a-lifetime hurricanes, floods, fires, droughts and even snowstorms are now commonplace. But dramatic weather events are not new andĀ Northeaster,Ā Cathie Pelletierās breathtaking account of the 1952 snowstorm that blanketed New England, offers a valuable reminder about natureās capacity for destruction as well as insight into the human instinct for preservation.Ā
NortheasterĀ weaves togetherĀ a rich cast of characters whose lives were uprooted andĀ endangeredby the storm. Housewives andĀ lobstermen, loggersĀ and soldiersĀ were all trapped as snow piled in drifts twenty feet high. The storm smothered hundreds of travelers in their cars, covered entire towns, and broke ships in half. In the midst of the blizzardās chaos, there were remarkableĀ acts of heroism and courageous generosities. Doctors braved the storm to help deliver babies. Ordinary people kept their wits while buried in theirĀ cars, and others made their way out of forests to find kind-hearted strangers willing to take them in.Ā
Itās likely that none of us know how we would handle a confrontation with a blizzard or other natural disaster. ButĀ NortheasterĀ shows that we have it inside to fight forĀ survival inĀ some of the harshest conditions that nature hasĀ to offer.
