Random Harvest
HIS new story of Hilton’s has simple people in the true sense; but the mystery slowly unravelled in the story is most intriguing, and there’s no guessing the end from the beginning. It is very skilfully managed. Hilton has here, as always, a command of good English and plain expression. The second time I read this book, with full knowledge of the plot, I liked it better than the first, as so many little situations have fuller significance. I think that this book will some day make an even better film than Good-bye Mr. Chips for if the subject is different, it is as human. To those of you who like a mystery story, this is one of the best: to those of you who like a love story there is here the romantic love of two strong people: to those of you who like a well-written story, this also you have here.("Random Harvest" by James Hilton, reviewed by Miss G. M. Glanville, 3Y A, December 2.)
