Fracktured!: A Village Divided (A Water Trilogy Book 3) Kindle Edition

A small announcement in the evening news alerts a village in the South East of England to the threat of imminent fracking in its precious green fields. Locals come together to fight against chemical pollution of rivers and waterways but, as Dorothy, their matriarch says; ‘We need a water expert!” And this is where Anisha comes into the story. Sunning herself on a beach in Aqaba and heading for Petra to study the ancient water systems of the Nabateans, the phone call jolts her attention back to 21st century water affairs. Not everyone in the village is against fracking however and soon the locals split into two camps, while Anisha to finds herself torn apart in a different way as she gets to know the ambitious young Chief Exec of the would-be drilling company.
This is the third in Gillian Jones’s ‘Water Trilogy’. We first met Anisha and Tom as they campaigned against the building of a dam in the rainforest of South America in Blade of Light. We followed Anisha through subterranean waterways in the Gulf States and further, into little-known enclaves of Central Asia, in The FARIS Affair. Now she is a professional and an expert in water affairs and, as battle lines are drawn in the Home Counties she finds herself in the middle of conflict in more ways than one.

Gillian Jones was born and grew up in the Home Counties of England. As a teacher of English she travelled in Europe, South America and the Middle East before returning to her roots in Kent. Nurtured in the Garden of England she combines a love of the environment and the excitement of travel with a fascination for weaving compelling stories. 'Blade of Light' is the first of a 'Water Trilogy' of which 'The FARIS Affair' is number two, with the third in the series still to come. In contrast her award-winning 'A Misted Mirror' explores the puzzles in the life and poetry of her late husband in a genre which intertwines fiction and memory, quite different from the suspenseful stories of the 'Water Trilogy'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fracking in a Kent village?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is a well researched, contemporary novel examining the ramifications of a proposal to bring fracking to a Kent village and its implications for all those involved. These are sketched out with a sure touch and a real understanding of the effects of the proposal on the widely-differing residents of the village and the economic and social concerns/opportunities that fracking brings in its wake. It is an easy read with plenty of dialogue and an unexpected, if realistic, climax.
