Nevil Shute's A Town Like Alice
I saw a mention of Shute the other day and realized I hadn’t reread this in far too long- it is one of my favorite books with one of fiction's most compelling heroines, as narrated by her elderly lawyer/trustee. (General note that there’s a lot of colonialism and racist language in here as much of it takes place in Malaysia during WWII and in Australia during the 1950s.) I would gush about this more but my hand hurts so no more typing today.
