During the Japanese invasion of Malaya, Jean is interned in a prison camp with other women and children, where she endures hardship, loss, and displays extraordinary resilience. After the war she discovers she has inherited a significant sum of money, but with restrictions on how she can use it. Determined to build a meaningful life, Jean moves to the Australian outback and uses her resources and determination to bring economic development to a struggling town — a place she and her love interest, Joe Harman, hope to transform into a thriving community. The novel is both a tale of human endurance and a story about love, enterprise, and the transformative power of hope and perseverance.\r\nTidy condition binding is good.","brand":"Pan Book LTD","offers":[{"title":"Fair \/ 9270b7cd05c","offer_id":48068125327511,"sku":"9780330020701-FR-000140001","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/20260216_145413-A-Town-Like-Alice.jpg?v=1785060550","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/town-like-alice","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
