“On the Beach” by Neville Shute is one of the most haunting books I have read.
This is one book which has made me sad for days. And I think thats exactly what the author intended.
The book tells the story of some people in Australia who prepare for the after effects of a nuclear war which took place somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere.(Its been years since I read the book and my memory is a bit hazy, so forgive me for that).
The story is so powerful that it will make you a staunch supporter of nuclear disaramament .
The greatness of Mr.Shute is that the ending of the story id done in a very great way.
