Enjoy an evening with actor turned best-selling author Judy Nunn and hear the story behind her latest book Maralinga on Thursday 19 November at the Mooloolaba Surf Club.
Best known for her role as the beloved Ailsa Stewart on Home and Away, Nunn will speak about Maralinga, a military tale of power, love and heartbreak set in the South Australian desert in the 1950s.
Rife with conflict and emotion, Maralinga follows the story of a young British Lieutenant in the wilds of the South Australian desert where an isolated British airbase, atomic weapons testing unit and army of raw youth led by power-hungry men create a cocktail for disaster.
Maralinga is the tenth book from Nunn, who followed her successful career in acting with scriptwriting for television and radio, and in the 1980s decided to turn her hand to prose. The result was two adventure novels for children, Eye in the Storm and Eye in the City, both of which remain extremely popular in Australia and Europe.
In the 1980s, Nunn turned to adult fiction, producing three novels The Glitter Game, Centre Stage and Araluen, set respectively in the worlds of television, theatre and film. Her subsequent bestsellers, Kal, Beneath the Southern Cross, Territory, Pacific, Heritage and Floodtide confirm her as one of the country’s leading popular authors.
Don’t miss the chance to share an evening with Judy Nunn at this special Big Book Club event. Bookings are essential and places are expected to fill quickly so don’t miss out.
