A Town like Alice is the most romantic book I've ever read...Jean's determination to survive is inspirational, and the love she finds later is beautiful
Catherine Tate, Mail on Sunday
A ripping tale of budding romance and grace under pressure
The Times
A heart-rending tale of torture, human fortitude and forbearance, inhumanity and hardship
Sunday Times
That supreme storyteller, Nevil Shute...I could hardly bear to put the book down. I read it voraciously for days
May Lovell, The Times
Remarkable books...I share a fierce personal regard for Nevil Shute
Richard Bach
A novel which, while aiming at popularity, respected its readership and was possessed of a decent level of craft
Philip Hensher, Spectator
This direct, simply told story is about honest, dogged virtues, at least as redolent of its era as street parties or 'We'll Meet Again'
The Times
