"A Town Like Alice" is a novel that intertwines love and war, adventure and travel, and a story of success. Based on true events, it is considered one of Nevil Shute's finest works. The book has been adapted for film several times and was included in Modern Library's list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century.
The main character is Jean Paget, an Englishwoman with a difficult life. She grew up in Malaya, was sent to a Japanese camp during World War II, and there met an Australian prisoner of war, Joe Harman. From him, she learned of a town called Alice Springs—an island of civilization in the very center of Australia.
Many years passed, and fate brought Jean to a small Australian settlement, whose locals she fell in love with so much that she decided to try to turn it into a town like Alice.
