Catherine Dyson is next Summer Read author blogging from 31 December to 5 January.
Her book Swing by Sailor is one of the books on the Summer Read shortlist.
Catherine Dyson is a writer, film director and producer. She worked on the Australians at War Film Archive as an interviewer/editor and co-wrote the documentary, A Wing and a Prayer, nominated for the United Nations Media Peace Award in 2000. Catherine is a graduate of the Australian Film, Television and Radio School.
Swing by Sailor tells the true stories from HMS Victorious wartime brides. This book details the fascinating stories of Australia’s war brides – women who had their hearts won over by British soldiers based in Australia during World War II. They boarded the HMS Victorious in 1946 to begin married life in England, and, 62 years later, these women tell the story of the voyage.

What Catherine says about summer reading
‘The scents of a bush shack. Blinds drawn against the summer radiation. Sand and gum leaves on the shabby couch, and me and my book in sweaty contentment. Probably a thriller or a strange story about the sea. ‘To Have or Have Not’, perhaps.’
