Three touching and tender love stories by master novelist Nevil Shute who died in 1960.
Wrapped around the intricacies of flying, from the old cloth-covered sport and fighter biplanes to aluminum-sided piston-engine transports. And dreams of all of it that linger in the mind and heart. Worth your time and money.
















I always enjoyed his “A Town Like Alice” with Brown.
What’s “with Brown”? I’ll try it after I finish An Old Captivity. I quite like his style.
Sorry Stanley,
With Bryan Brown and Helen Morse, it was a mini series.
Ah, the television I don’t watch. Book should be better. All I ever knew of Shute was his On The Beach movie whose last scenes still haunt. I need to read that book too.
