Book Reviews of A Town Like Alice
Book Review: the story is a sensitive reflection of historical events
Summary: 5 Stars
Of the collection of Shute's works that I own, there is not one that I have read only one time. Some have been read a dozen times--especially those that tell of England and the English at the beginning of WWII; the simple telling of stories of individuals and families about whom Winston Churchill spoke so eloquently "we shall never give up". Also intriguing are the stories of early aviation, like "No Highway" and "Rainbow and the Rose" that detail the ordeals, sacrifice and experimentation in early aviation. Many of these titles I was only able to find in Australia or England; many can be found on the internet at amazon.co.uk for United Kingdom.
