Weeping Waters

“Weeping Waters” is based on a true story surrounding one of New Zealand’s worst natural disasters…a train crash at Tangiwai in 1953 caused by a lahar from the volcano Ruapehu leaving 151 people dead. The novel, which reached number one on the NZ fiction list, is set in the present with flashbacks to the tragedy.
“Weeping Waters” tells the story of Frances Nelson’s journey through a maze of conflict between vulcanologists, politicians and the Maori tribes over ways to deal with a new threat from the volcano Mt Ruapehu in the heart of New Zealand’s North Island.  It’s also a story of unexpected love and romance in the midst of danger.
