Made in Summerland

Ruth McQuillan-Wilson, a Summerland survivor, tells her story through a vivid and evocative examination of the events. Published in 2017, it looks at the disaster which befell the Isle of Man’s most modern holiday complex in 1973 not only sheds new light, but also uncovers many unanswered questions. Some of these questions, particularly about the suitability of untested modern building materials, have a surprising resonance with more recent events.
