A retro choice for our book club which met with mixed reactions. It's the tale of a love story begun in wartime Malaya and moving to post war Queensland, a reunion and new lives. While the style is of its time I didn't find it dated and the narrative and descriptive passages still entertained. Certainly feel likely to re-read more novels by Neville Shute after a gap of many years.
