Maralinga
Love the book. I learned so much about Australia, England and human nature in general.
Maralinga
Easy and enjoyable reading, an engaging storey interwoven with carefully researched facts. Judy really captures the landscape and transports you there. The characters are likeable but flawed and believable with not too much of the hero/ heroine. This was my first read of A Judy Nunn novel and I am straight into the next.
