Prompt: A Book Set in the Decade in Which You Were Born
"I loved this book! Reasons: set in Australia, it's a story of war (WWII) and the aftermath. There is a very strong and interesting woman lead character, and an equally strong and interesting man, with a wonderful love story that could only happen in war. Did I mention Australia? And the Outback no less! Shute's writing flows with ease and I was captured from the first moment. It was also the first book of his that I have read, so I have many more to look forward to!" — Mary
