11 4 y separately published work icon Beyond the Black Stump Nevil Shute , ( trans. C. van Eijsden with title Ergens, waar de wereld ophoudt ) The Hague : Zuid-Hollandsche U. M. , 1961 Z275102 1956 single work novel Set on a station in the North West of Western Australia, in Perth and in the USA. It is a curious patchwork of fiction, distortion, half-truth and social criticism ... And the honest history graduate from the University of Western Australia would have to agree that Mr Shute would do well to enrol as a student in the Department of History if he is not to perpetrate further travesties of the truth. (F. K. Crowley, Westerly No. 3 1956, pp41-3.)

'Nevil Shute’s most beloved novel, a tale of love and war, follows its enterprising heroine from the Malayan jungle during World War II to the rugged Australian outback.

'Jean Paget, a young Englishwoman living in Malaya, is captured by the invading Japanese and forced on a brutal seven-month death march with dozens of other women and children. A few years after the war, Jean is back in England, the nightmare behind her. However, an unexpected inheritance inspires her to return to Malaya to give something back to the villagers who saved her life. But it turns out that they have a gift for her as well: the news that the young Australian soldier, Joe Harmon, who had risked his life to help the women, had miraculously survived. Jean’s search for Joe leads her to a desolate Australian outpost called Willstown, where she finds a challenge that will draw on all the resourcefulness and spirit that carried her through her war-time ordeals.'
