Summary: A Town like Alice
Review: I first saw this on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS and loved it. I then listened to it on tape and it was very true to the production. It is one of the classic love stories of our time. It gives Rhett and Scarlett a run for the money. A true classic and probably my favorite love story. It has all the elements, love, passion, war, separation and never disappoints. I can not recommend it any higher.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A classic will they- won't they tale with a nice twist.
Review: This book opens in Malaysia during WW2, with descriptions based on Shute's own experiences in Indonesia during the war. In a chance encounter an English Girl and an Australian soldier meet and feel something special exists between them.

After the war, each attempts to contact the other. They travel the world to find out if their memories of that defining moment are real, or were a personal illusion, not held by the other person.

A real heart rending tale of true romance set in a passionate backdrop of war and the aftermath, and the wild spaces of central Australia. This is not just an Australian classic, it is a classic! A relly good memorable read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic Storyteller
Review: Nevil Shute is a magician with the written word. Jean Paget is a true heroine, and somebody that I aspire to be some day. Joe Harman is the hunky Aussie cowboy. They are both heroes. This is a must read!!!! I guarantee you will love this book. It has all the essentials of a good story.
