Pastoral

By: Nevil Shute

Narrated by: Frank Muller

She was from the hills of Yorkshire, country born and bred. He was a city boy. By the stream where they fished they were two young people falling in love. Overhead, the bombers roared, threatening to blow their idyllic world, so young, so fresh, to smithereens.

Another great one!

As always, Shute's writing is both clever and good natured. He's quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

A wonderful, dared story

A bright story that exhibits but doesn't really suffer from being dated. For the time this was written, Shute was quite a feminist. Even then, time has passed.

The action climax is rather intelligent and effective. It's a nice story, above average and made better by a sense of the times and a sense of flight in the bombers of WWII

another great Shute novel

The story doesn't sound like much, but like other Shute books, it's easy to get into, very well narrated, and ends leaving you feeling good. It kept me entertained the whole time. I'm looking for which Shute to get next.

Lovely Characters

Wonderful story with characters one would be happy to know in real life. Heartfelt and as always, extremely well written. Nevil Shute remains a favorite.

Good story & narration.

Another wonderful story from Neville Shute who never disappoints and narrated by Frank Muller, the best of the best.
