Welcome to Litsy!

Long time fascination, this is my first Judy Nunn novel. Im listening to this on audiobook as well as reading the ebook inbetween.
I recognize the narrator, John Derum's voice from Australian TV and/or radio. I understand it's set in Australia & written by an Australian author but Derum's voice feels strange to hear when I'm listenng to him read the voices for over 9 Middle Eastern characters in an Aussie accent.
Otherwise, I'm enjoying it so far.

This book could have been edited more thoroughly. Although the story was quite good ( though not realistic) the writing was standard. First Judy Nunn I‘ve read and I‘ll go back for more but listening is likely the best option.

This book was a gift and I haven‘t read any other Judy Nunn novels. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to others. It‘s a fictional recount of the arrival of a group of refugees at the Abrolhos Islands off the coast of Western Australia near Geraldton. It accurately depicts many of the places around Geraldton and Perth. The plight of refugees arriving in Australia was well represented. I think I‘ll read more Judy Nunn in the future.

My first exposure to anything by Judy Nunn and it was a really fantastic read. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to learn something about compassion toward refugees. It‘s especially relevant for Australian readers, who‘s shores are often approached by those who seek safety and refuge from their war-torn countries. 5 stars from me.

Nunn is a prolific #ozfiction author. She‘s also a well known actress (Ailsa from Home & Away). I had not read her before & only read this because it was chosen for my book club.
I was interested to see how the topic of refugees, set in my state of Western Australia, would be tackled by a ‘best selling‘ author. The first half of the book explored relatively interesting back-story of the refugees. The second half was a silly, implausible romance.

This is our latest read for book club. Thinking it might be the first one I don‘t finish. I‘m finding it heavy going. I‘m not enjoying her writing style at all. She is very popular so glad lots of people like reading her. Just not for me. If this was a review I would have picked bail I think . Book club will be interesting I think. Love that I get to read books I would not normally read. However this is very hard for me. @MrsMalaprop

I have a chesty cold and am definitely not feeling fine 🤧😪. However I‘m sure this hot toddy and some of my #currentread will change that.

Generally speaking I‘m not a whiskey drinker. I remember doing a tour of Bushmills Distillery in Ireland in my 20s and wanting to make sure I took advantage of my free sample. As I had no interest in straight whiskey I opted for the hot toddy. And boy did #Ifeelfine 😋😁🥃👍.
