I bought this in a combined post office/souvenir/second-hand book shop and general store, in Swansea on Tassie's east coast. It was the only book in their selection of 20 or so that look even remotely interesting, but we were on holiday and I'd just finished my only book so I was desperate.

This was more enjoyable than I expected, although it did feel at times like "Days of Our Lives" in space. ( )
