A brilliantly descriptive writer, a master of suspense
David Holloway
A small masterpiece...a book about frail but indomitable old age, simple kindness, childhood, and courage in dark confusing danger. It is not sentimental but prosaic and suspenseful on every page...it conjures up the country of the 1940's, and gently acclaims the value of ordinary decency in wicked times
Libby Purves
Exhibits his talents at their provocative best
New York Times
Mr Shute not only writes vividly and excitingly of occupied France, but with a delightful understanding of children
Sunday Times
Remarkable books...I share a fierce personal regard for Nevil Shute
Richard Bach
That shattering, unaffected, literary style of his is wholly deceptive...is, in fact, masterly
H.E. Bates
