Nevil Shute’s most beloved novel, a tale of love and war, follows its enterprising heroine from the Malayan jungle during World War II to the rugged Australian outback.
Jean Paget, a young Englishwoman living in Malaya, is captured by the invading Japanese and forced on a brutal seven-month death march with dozens of other women and children. A few years after the war, Jean is back in England, the nightmare behind her. However, an unexpected inheritance inspires her to return to Malaya to give something back to the villagers who saved her life. But it turns out that they have a gift for her as well: the news that the young Australian soldier, Joe Harmon, who had risked his life to help the women, had miraculously survived. Jean’s search for Joe leads her to a desolate Australian outpost called Willstown, where she finds a challenge that will draw on all the resourcefulness and spirit that carried her through her war-time ordeals.
Nevil Shute Norway was born in 1899 in Ealing, London. He studied Engineering Science at Balliol College, Oxford. Following his childho od passion, he entered the fledgling aircraft industry as an aeronautical engineer working to develop airships and, later, airplanes. In his spare time he began writing and he published his first novel, Marazan, in 1926, using the name Nevil Shute to protect his engineering career. In 1931 he married Frances Mary Heaton and they had two daughters. During the Second World War he joined the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve where he worked on developing secret weapons. After the war he continued to write and settled in Australia where he lived until his death in 1960. His most celebrated novels include Pied Piper (1942), A Town Like Alice (1950), and On the Beach (1957).

評分讀起來好舒服的一本小說 井真的可以帶來好運的哈哈
評分本來以為是一個虛構的故事,讀到最後纔發現確實有人物原型。兩個普通人,在戰爭中變成POW的時候相遇,六年後最終在一起,把Willstown變成瞭a town like Alice。它傳達齣積極的人生觀以及在我看來特彆正確的愛情觀。Jean平凡但有遠見,內心堅韌,熱心且真誠,懂得迴報,看得見彆人看不見的東西。很喜歡這個故事呀,讀完覺得心裏很舒服,雖然我讀瞭三個星期纔讀完因為企鵝齣版社的那一版字實在是太尼瑪小瞭。。

評分第一次翻开这本书是在一节创业课上,当时以为故事的主角是诺尔先生,还在想这故事还蛮与众不同,男女主角居然相差四十岁,现在想想还觉得想笑。 琴是幸运的,她有一个富有的舅舅,在她未到而立之年,便有了寻常人没有的财富。她遇到了一个理智又有责任心的财产托管人,诺尔在她...
