'Probably more people have shed tears over the last page of A Town Like Alice than about any other novel in the English language. . . remarkable' John Ezard, Guardian
Jean Paget is just twenty years old and working in Malaya when the Japanese invasion begins. When she is captured she joins a group of other European women and children whom the Japanese force to march for miles through the jungle - an experience that leads to the deaths of many.

Pressestimmen
"This direct, simply told story is about honest, dogged virtues, at least as redolent of its era as street parties or 'We'll Meet Again'" The Times "A Town like Alice is the most romantic book I've ever read...Jean's determination to survive is inspirational, and the love she finds later is beautiful" -- Catherine Tate Mail on Sunday "A ripping tale of budding romance and grace under pressure" The Times "A heart-rending tale of torture, human fortitude and forbearance, inhumanity and hardship" Sunday Times "That supreme storyteller, Nevil Shute...I could hardly bear to put the book down. I read it voraciously for days" -- May Lovell The Times

Faszinierender Roman mit einem sehr starken ersten Teil, zum Ende hin verlor er mich ein wenig. Interessante Figuren & spannende Beziehung.
