  1. Bronte – Jane Eyre, Mitchell (couldn’t remember her name!) Gone With the Wind, had to look up 3, Shute (Forgot that name, too) but recalled A Town Like Alice immediately. I “had to” read A Town Like Alice at the insistence of a teacher who described it as “…one of the most successful and completely implausible novels…” written on the grand Russian romance template, which propagated into the popular genre of seemingly (adverb alert) endless, lengthwise, onslaught of geographic/historical/generational spanning fictions and “historical” fictions of the 50s 60s and 70s. Or as movie posters of some of them stated “Epics.”
    Brain works post. Way to go!

    1. HI Phil, I thought this was a bit of fun and I’m glad lots of readers joined in. You know your classics. I enjoyed A Town like Alice. It is based on a true story of a group of Dutch women who were forced to continuously move on under Japanese occupation in Dutch Malaysia during WWII. Parts of the book were highly improbably but I still really enjoyed it very much. I enjoyed Captain Corelli’s Mandolin too although the ending was appalling.
