In 1943 173 people died when seeking shelter from a bombing raid in Bethnal Green tube station in a crush caused by a woman falling on the stairs. The bk imagines a family's experience of the disaster as they lose their youngest daughter, + 30 years later, a journalist interviews the chair of the enquiry about his report. This is a tale told in a matter of fact way but which exposes the dislike of jewish refugees at the time. Interesting but sad.
