Pastoral (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pastoral is a novel by the English author Nevil Shute. It was first published in 1944.
A slight but charming romance set on an English airbase and involving an experienced pilot, his bomber crew, their interest in fishing and his developing relationship with a young WAAF signals officer. As with many of Shute's novels a narrator character who might be seen as Shute appears. A simple story told straightforwardly with Shute's normal attention to detail which makes it particularly evocative.
