In the Wet
In the Wet | Nevil Shute
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
It is the wet season in the Australian outback. Drunk and delirious, an old ex-pilot known as “Pisspot Stevie” lies dying in a remote cabin in the Queensland bush. When a priest named Roger Hargreaves comes upon him, Stevie is smoking opium to relieve the pain of his last moments. The priest listens as Stevie, in an opium-fueled haze, begins to describe a very different life he once lived—not in the past, but decades in the future, as a mixed-race aviator who finds love and glory in service to the Queen. After Stevie’s death, as Hargreaves tries to sort dream from reality, he makes discoveries that cause him to wonder if he has been granted a glimpse beyond the veil.

Mehso-so

A Pick for the story, because I love planes and the structure was interesting once I figured it out. But the main character has the worst nickname ever 😖 so it's a So-so rating in the end.

#BookMail Pt3 is the last Neville Shute novel, In The Wet. I‘m pretty sure it‘s a 1955 Edition, with some older books they don‘t put the publishing year in the front so I‘m going with First Printed year.
