‘I really enjoyed this – I love how Jennifer Scoullar manages to incorporate strong themes of conservation and protection into her stories without making it seem like a lecture.
‘I’ve been on a real reading roll this weekend. 4 books, 4 winners. Turtle Reef, the latest from Jennifer Scoullar, was one of them.
‘Once again, Scoullar celebrates the Australian environment, but holds it up to scrutiny as something that must be respected if it is to remain celebrated.
‘Turtle Reef was a particularly special read for me, Kiawa and the Reef Centre bringing with it nostalgic memories of my visits to Bargara and Mon Repos Conservation Centre and more recently Lady Elliot Island (southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef) the highly protected “green zone” sanctuary for marine and other wildlife.
‘Turtle Reef is Jennifer Scoullar’s fifth novel, and her fourth engaging contemporary regional romance.
Scoullar’s descriptions of the beauty of the reef and the ocean are highlights of the novel.
