Jean Brooks
The Woomera Trap
Jean has given a brief synopsis of her novel, which is available for purchase on-line from Jacobyte's website.
'In 1960, Harriet, young and naive, emigrates from England to Australia to marry a pen friend, only to be jilted at the last moment. She rushes into marriage with a recent widower and is as unprepared for marriage as she is for life in Woomera. She takes a lover, a Polish gardener with his own tragic history. He leaves Woomera and Harriet discovers she is pregnant. Without money she is trapped. Escape seems impossible.'
