Welcome to Litsy!

Very enjoyable book about an ordinary man in England, good at engineering, who does extraordinary things to help his orphaned niece and meets up with interesting people. Shute‘s last book and among his best.

Started a book by an author I like from Australia who died way back in 1960. About an ordinary man, good at engineering, who must undertake a sea voyage from England. He never did it before.

Ali‘s short stories don‘t have the spice of the longer reads but great for quick listens and fast-paced

I loved everything about this sweet romance! The right amount of spice and very lovable characters, except for Seth the dirtbag. I loved reading all the Indian phrases and words of endearment. I‘ve never been to India, but I love reading about Indian culture through the voices of characters like these. Book #8 in 2025
