Product Description

About the Author

Nevil Shute Norway was born in London and worked as an aeronautical engineer at Vickers before setting up his own airship company. Worried that his reputation as a fiction writer would damage his engineering career, he wrote without using his surname. He served in both world wars and was a commander in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve in World War II, working on secret projects. After the war he became a full time author completing a fictionalised account of his war time experience in 'Most Secret'. Moving to Australia in 1949 he based seven of his novels against that background including his most successful title On The Beach. This was subsequently a hugely successful film starring Gregory Peck, Antony Perkins and Ava Gardner and became arguably the major after the bomb movie of all time. Shute became one of the top selling authors of the 50s and 60s with wide appeal to a broad international market attracted by strong story lines which were always meticulously researched.. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rainbow and the Rose, Mar 28 2006
By Bob McNally (Kenora, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rainbow and the Rose (Hardcover)
A very gripping read. Took me two days to finish it only because I had to sleep in between. Nevil Shute (Norway) had a very deep insight into the human condition. This story does not read as a fiction but gives you to believe that it is a true tale of love, tragedy and redemption.
