Review of 'Random harvest' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is yet another excellent novel. The plot line, the characters, the world are all imminently believable. The mystery of being shell-shocked (today called PTSD) forms the basis of the novel in a tale set between the two 20th century world wars. Although this is not James Hilton's best novel, it is a very good novel that reinforces both Hilton's skill as an author and his strong human empathy.
