Summary:
"Mary Ann Monnon's father was one of the lucky survivors of the
Halifax
Explosion
, the great World War One disaster that devastated
Halifax
and killed over two thouasand people. His personal story, along with the stories of other survivors, are woven into this captivating account of the events leading up to and following the
explosion
of the munitions ship Mont Blanc in
Halifax
Harbour. Monnon begins the story in the days just prior to the
explosion
, providing news items, ads, and public notices that give readers fresh insight into life in the city at that time. Monnon's interviewees provide candid recollections of where they were and their initial responses to the disaster. What emerge are unusually personal stories of confusion, injury, loss, and the eventual resurgence of hope-raw remembrances that bring back into sharp focus those first days on the ground. Miracles and Mysteries is a reminder of the tragedy of war, and how ordinary people respond to overwhelming and inexplicable events."
