Description

Two events, continents apart and spread over three days, merged into a moment of profound drama which has echoed through time on New Zealand. They were a cricket Test in South Africa and the railway disaster at Tangiwai, which claimed the life of the fiancee of a New Zealand player. The rip tide of emotion that was unleashed gave rise to a legend, now preserved for posterity by a skilled writer who has meticulously recreated the drama.
