A Town Like Alice by Nevil ShuteMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A beautiful book recommended by my beautiful wife that captures the rugged simple joys and vicissitudes of life in the outback of Australia in the 1950s. It tells of the romance between a Londoner and a Queenslander that was seeded during WW2 in a Japanese prison camp and blossomed there after. I read it while in Brisbane Australia thinking that apropos to my trip and also to learn more about my wife her family and her heritage.
