What Members Thought
Really a 3.5 as the second half of the novel had minimal plot. Overall impressions: This is a loveletter from Nevil Shute to the country of Australia. Many pages are dedicated to comparing and contrasting dreary, rationed, bombed out England to the Land of Opportunity (Australia), a land of plentiful food, surrounded by stunningly beautiful landscapes.
