BOTM June 2025 Round the Bend

[Celia]

We are rereading this book for Qatar. originally read in January 2020.

Here is Celia's Review

Round the Bend is another way to say insane or crazy.

Tom Cutter narrates this story. Tom is a self-made man who starts up an airline charter business in Bahrain. His chief engineer is Connie Shak Lin, who is a good engineer, a good person AND very religious. Connie develops a following in Bahrain. Some people think he is divine; others just think he is 'round the bend'.

This is the first book I have read by Shute. I thought it very powerful, well written and contained well-developed characters. Not that I agree with each one of them. But I can see that each character's beliefs are logical (for them) and the actions and thoughts of each are consistent with the character.

5 stars
