Hello

 

His real name was Nevil Shute Norway, but he wrote under the name of Nevil =
Shute.

 

When younger I read through all his books, each of which I truly enjoyed.

 

While born in the UK, Shute moved to Melbourne, Australia and lived there u=
ntil he died in 1960.

 

He was also keen on motor racing and was quite competent in his Jaguar XK14=
0 racing it at Phillip Island.

As you=E2=80=99re aware, the film was based on a book of the same name by N=
evile Shute. I=E2=80=99ve always been a great admirer of this novelist. He =
was plainly a very talented aero-engineer as well as being a best-selling(?=
) novelist.

See:-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevil_Shute

A slightly understated biography. Rather like the man.

=E2=80=9COn The Beach=E2=80=9D is a great book. Or try =E2=80=9CA Town Like=
 Alice=E2=80=9D.
