Shute prophetically describes how the war would affect a town like Southampton. Peter Corbett and his family live in Southampton, one of the first cities to be heavily bombed. The family endures hardships of isolation and forced independence.
Nevil Shute wrote this prophetic novel just before the start of the Second World War. In it he describes the devastation that results from an aerial bomb attack on Southampton that destroys the city’s infrastructure and leaves the inhabitants at the mercy of cholera and further assaults. The story follows the trials and tribulations of the Corbett family as they try to get to safety.
