Book Reviews of A Town Like Alice
Book Review: One of my top ten favorites of a lifetime.
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read Nevil Shute's The Legacy, as a high school student in the sixties. Now republished as A Town Like Alice, I was delighted to discover it all over again through the PBS special. The characters are people you will learn to admire and wish you could know yourself. The gripping and seemingly endless "death march" will have you on edge for hours, but the love story certainly begins as one of the most sensuous a very impressionable 16 year old had ever read in 1961. I still hope one day to visit the beach where Jean and her Australian hero first came together. Her struggle to improve the quality of life in the little town of Alice Springs is inspiring and such a good read. This is a story to inspire, one you will read again and again.
