Have you read A Town Like Alice? How did you like it? Any others by Shute that you’d recommend?Ĭover image and description via Goodreads author information via Wikipedia So, this makes A Town Like Alice a book that I definitely do want to read! I’ve enjoyed the books by Shute I’ve read before, particularly Pied Piper, the story of a retired man who wants to contribute to the Second World War and finds an opportunity to do so, when he must help take some children out of the continent and into safety. While the description seems to reveal only the bare outlines of the plot, this is a book I’ve heard so much about over the years, including from fellow bloggers and readers. But from here, she ends up travelling to an isolated Australian outpost where she faces a challenge that will draw on all her resourcefulness and spirit. After the war, back in England, Jean decides to travel to Malaya once more to give back to the villagers who saved her life. Jean Paget is a young Englishwoman living in Malaya who is captured by the invading Japanese and finds herself on the death march. A Town Like Alice (1950) is described as a story of love and war, which follows its heroine from the Malayan jungles to Australia. ![]() ![]() Rapper Jay Z attends the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards afterparty at the 40/40 Club on Sept. 13, 2009.Īctress Kate Hudson and rapper Jay Z look on from the stands before Game One of the ALDS between the Minnesota Twins and the New York Yankees during the 2009 MLB Playoffs at Yankee Stadium on Oct.

I’m glad they went for a full cast of narrators as there were a lot of characters. That did not diminish my pleasure in listening to the book. Probably because it has been the most straightforward and I knew exactly who the killer was. I think I was most interested in this story. Two local police officers go undercover to try and catch the perps but blow their cover and it all goes sideways.

In Jubilee, Tipton-Martin brings these masters into our kitchens. After all, if Thomas Jefferson introduced French haute cuisine to this country, who do you think actually cooked it? She’s introduced us to black cooks, some long forgotten, who established much of what’s considered to be our national cuisine. Throughout her career, Toni Tipton-Martin has shed new light on the history, breadth, and depth of African American cuisine.

Since 1600 Japan has undergone three periods of wrenching social and institutional change, following the imposition of hegemonic order on feudal society by the Tokugawa shogun the opening of Japan’s ports by Commodore Perry and defeat in World War II. ![]() ![]() A distillation of more than fifty years’ engagement with Japan and its history, it is the crowning work of our leading interpreter of the modern Japanese experience.
