Finished: Elianne by Judy Nunn
I love a story that can capture you & take you on a journey. This is one such story. I loved it.. unfortunately I got in trouble for reading at work when I should have been working. But I just had to know what happened(in my pathetic defense, I was nearly at the end of the book at the time)!!
Judy Nunn has a special gift that enables you to be transported into the story & feel like you are a part of it, not just an observer on the outside. To feel that the characters are talking to you & you become fully invested in their story. Amazing stuff.
Elianne tells the story of the Durhams - sugar producing royalty in Bundaberg. It follows the discovery, by one of the curretnt generation of a secret so shocking that it may in fact tear the family apart. But it is this secret which ultimately reunite the family and bring them to a place of greater understanding. Great read!
Started: Bad Men by John Connolly
I had the privelege of seeing John Connolly speak when he came to Perth a month or so ago. He is an extremely funny man who has a unique gift when it comes to writing. In a similar way to Judy Nunn he can capture you and make you care about the characters. In addition he is a gifted writer who can make words sing a tune that leaves you begging for more.
