### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great storytelling & memorable characters
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2010*

Someone dubbed Nevil Shute "the Prince of Storytellers" and it's not just hype. He wrote about 20 novels between 1930 and 1960, all of which are good and a few of which are great (

    ). Many of Shute's books, like "Requiem for a Wren," revolve around individuals caught up in the trauma of World War II or the post-war world. Many take place in the wide open spaces of his beloved Australia. They blend romance, adventure, sacrifice and deep sentiment, a quality I miss in our era of irony and detachment. Shute creates compelling characters -- his women are as well-drawn as his men -- who endure a lot and whose journey to hard-won wisdom is always riveting."Requiem" is no exception. As its title suggests, it is a sad story told with compassion and eloquence. A disabled veteran, Alan Duncan, returns to his family home in Australia embittered by the war. Alan's brother has been killed in the war and he tries to find out more about his brother's fiancée, who was a member of the Women's Royal Navy Service, popularly known as Wrens. "Requiem" focuses on the war and post-war experiences of this woman, Janet Prentice, as well as Alan's difficult reintegration into civilian life. Both Alan's and Janet's stories made me think about the unknown heroism and quiet dignity of people's lives. They made me aware, once again, of the enormous sacrifices of the "Greatest Generation," which helped rid the world of fascism. "Requiem" is a good, thought-provoking reading experience.

    Indescribable
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2014*

Wow, what a different book. This was recommended to me after I was raving about "A Town Like Alice", and it didn't disappoint despite being a very different type of storyline.Neville Shute is a past-master at stories set during WWII. His ability to place ordinary people into the exact setting, and make the reader feel that it could just as easily have been them, is amazing.This is not a story with a happy ending, but the ending is satisfying nonetheless. It is more in the style of the unfolding solving of a deep mystery. The person who at the start, you believe to be almost incidental becomes the centre of the story, and by the end you can't help loving her, and regretting that she didn't get her happy ending.I finished this book, by coincidence, the day before the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings. This book will teach you so much history about D-Day and the people involved.I won't forget this book any time soon, and it has expanded my viewpoint. Well deserving of 5 stars.

    A Period Piece
  

*by F***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2015*

An old book about the second world war.  The character of the Wren is very much of her time.  They way in which she deals with the war and the deaths in the war is very much of that generation.  A very touching book.
