Shute, Nevil A TOWN LIKE ALICE, William Heinemann Ltd, Melbourne, 1958. Hardcover in very good condition, no dust jacket, 198 pages. Illustrated by Robert Micklewright. "It was unbelievable to Joe that this smart pretty girl was the tragic, ragged figure that he had last seen on the road in Malaya, sunburnt, dirty, bullied by the Japanese soldiers..." Acclaimed as one of the great novels of our time, Shute's magnificent and moving story of courage and endurance, of enterprise and love, of war and the aftermath of war has become a best seller. From a little known incident in the war against Japan, he has contrived a gripping novel of an English girl's courage and unflagging faith in humanity.
