The travels of Mary Loosemore

Author: Nevil Shute

The Far Country – Nevil Shute

Evocative descriptions of 1950s England and Australia, a fine cast and a strong story, I loved this novel. Read from cover to cover in 2 days.

I might try A town Like Alice next; I’ve always been rather deterred by the fact it was a film – unfairly perhaps.

About Me

Born and brought up in Solihull, I studied at St Andrews and in Chester before coming to live and work in London.

I've done a variety of jobs in the legal sector, focusing on the knowledge management and technology side of things since 2000. You'll find details on LinkedIn.

SparklyTrainers is about my world outside work. As you'll see, I love to travel, take photos and read.

I tweet (sporadically) as @maryloosemore

My email is [my firstname] @ [my surname].com
