About this title

Review:

"My favourite novel, by my favourite author, is a wonderful example of a master's craft. This understated Second World War love story still has a freshness and sincerity more than half a century after it was written. Tragically sad but also uplifting" (Gerald Seymour Sunday Express)

"Magnificent" (Guardian)

"Shattering, unaffected, literary style...masterly" (H.E. Bates)

"There is little that Mr Shute does not know about choosing an appealing story and telling it in a gripping way" (The Times)

"Remarkable books...I share a fierce personal regard for Nevil Shute" (Richard Bach)

Book Description:
