French Sand2012

What would you do if your husband suddenly - and totally inexplicably - abandoned you and your young child at the other end of the earth?  Set in the 1960s on the South Pacific Island of New Caledonia, "French Sand" is one of four novels by Catherine Broughton and is based on an event that occurred while she lived there.  Persuaded to find out why her husband left, a young English woman confronts secrets that almost get her killed. A love story with a surprising twist to it, "French Sand" makes for an excellent read.
