Nevil Shute is one of the greatest writers of our time,
By KrajMan "Eclectic Music Fan" (Redford, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The breaking wave (Great war stories) (Hardcover)
The Breaking Wave is set in the aftermath of World War II, the story of a British Wren and an Australian airman. Nevil Shute, as usual, draws one in with his subtle character development and outstanding descriptions. The twist in the way the story is laid out was deftly handled leaving me in awe of the author's skill by the conclusion. The story moved me as few others I have ever read.

Another Marvelous Story,
By black gorilla "book lover extraordinaire" (Cocoa, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Breaking Wave (Hardcover)
Nevil Shute is one of the most wondrous storytellers I've ever read. He uses such simple premises, he gives you details you'd never think of, his books are peopled with ordinary people who do extraordinary things. This book begins at the end of WWII and continues through the early 50's. A Leading Wren who loses everyone she loves. A man who searches for her in vain only to find her in a most unusual place when it's too late. Shute uses a most unusual style in telling this story, but he manages to still keep it straightforward and entertaining. What a great read!
