Book Reviews of A Town Like Alice

Book Review: A Classic of 20th Century Literature
Summary: 5 Stars

It is both pointless and impossible to attempt to describe a book as good as this. Suffice it to say that it will move you in ways you never thought possible. In Jean and Joe, Shute has created two of the finest characters of 20th century lit. Despite being set mainly during WWII, the story is a timeless one, and the reaffirmation of the power of love to triumph over even the most appalling odds is truly inspirational. If you only ever read one book in your life, make it this one.
