Australian actress Samantha Lindsay is thrilled when she scores her first lead movie role in the Hollywood epic Torpedo Junction, playing a character based on World War II heroine 'Mamma Tack'. But as filming begins in Vanuatu, uncanny parallels between history and fiction emerge. Just who was the real Mamma Tack? And what mysterious forces are at play? The answers reveal not only bygone secrets but Sam's own destiny. In another era, Jane Thackeray travels from England to the far distant islands of the New Hebrides. Ensnared in the turmoil of war, Jane witnesses the devastating effect human conflict has upon an innocent race of people. There she meets Charles 'Wolf' Baker, a charismatic fighter pilot, and Jean-Francois Marat, a powerful plantation owner – and soon their lives are entwined in a maelstrom of love and hate … From the dark days of Dunkirk to the vicious fighting that was Guadalcanal, from the sedate beauty of the English Channel ports to a tropical paradise, Pacific is Judy Nunn at her enthralling best.©2005 Judy Nunn, ; Produced by arrangement with Penguin Random House Australia Pty Ltd Copyright Judy Nunn, ; Produced by arrangement with Penguin Random House Australia Pty Ltd (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing Historical Fiction War Fiction

The story didn't pause, it carefully intertwined two timelines.
I really enjoyed the narrator, who made all the characters recognisable.
This is a well researched and well paced book

I think this book may have been better than I think it was, because the narrator was so terrible. Her accents were awful and she should not have attempted them. The worst was that she felt the need to shout throughout the book. Turning the volume down did not resolve the issue as then one missed other parts of the narration. Overall, the story was solid - not great, not bad, but completely destroyed by the horrible narrator.
