Description

A Town Like Alice is a powerful and moving story about the human spirit's capacity for strength and love in the face of adversity. When Jean Paget is captured by the Japanese army during World War Two, she embarks on a brutal march across Malaya with a group of women and children. It is there that she meets Joe Harman, an Australian soldier who risks his life to help them. Years later, when Jean receives an unexpected inheritance, she uses it to repay those who risked their lives to save her during the war. She travels back to the village where they stayed and then on to Australia in search of lost love. But when cut off in the Australian outback, Jean must draw on her determination and entrepreneurial spirit to build a thriving community. This beautifully bound edition features an afterword by bestselling novelist Jenny Colgan, adding depth and context to this heart-rending story of love and resilience.
