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
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
That supreme storyteller, Nevil Shute...I could hardly bear to put the book down. I read it voraciously for days
May Lovell, The Times
A heart-rending tale of torture, human fortitude and forbearance, inhumanity and hardship
Sunday Times
A novel which, while aiming at popularity, respected its readership and was possessed of a decent level of craft
Philip Hensher, Spectator
Remarkable books...I share a fierce personal regard for Nevil Shute
Richard Bach
