This review is from: Alice to Nowhere (Hardcover)

The handsome, self-sufficient loner nursing a bruised (if not broken) heart, the plucky little nurse heading for adventure in an outback hospital, and two very nasty men all cross paths in this fascinating little slice-of-Never Never-life. It all works, however, and I was quickly caught up in the plot which is not overly convoluted so there's plenty of time for describing the spinaflex at the side of the road, or visiting with a former camel-rider who may or may not be an Afghan. Green has a knack for sharp, concise character studies. One villian is a bit of a stereotype, but probably was fresher when the book was new. The second bad guy has a wee bit more depth and evil in him than meets the first glance. Lots of little town life, interesting people, and a budding romance. The perfect book for a quick summer read on the verandah. My only disappointment was there wasn't enough book. It ended before I was ready to say goodbye to the characters. I checked out Evan Green hoping he'd written a sequel, but no luck. He does have a two-volume saga--on of those multi-generational things available only on amazon.ca (as of this writing).
