SO WELL REMEMBERED Novel by James Hilton Armed Services Edition 966

Description: THIS NOVEL, the first in four and a half years by the author of Good-Bye, Mr. Chips and Random Harvest, is the story of a plain man of our times. His world was not fit for heroes to live in, yet plain men often had to become heroes in it, and George Boswell was just such a man. His mistakes, his idealism, his human frailties, his courage, his warm affections, and his never-failing humor make him one of the most appealing characters Mr. Hilton has drawn. Livia was George Boswell's young wife, and that day so well remembered was the day on which Councillor Boswell, later to become Mayor Boswell, had the immense satisfaction of laying the foundation stone of the new housing unit that replaced some of Browdley's worst slums. That day was also the turning point in George's life, the day when he had to face the truth about Livia. The period of the novel is both before and during the Second World War; the scene is chiefly a small industrial town in the British Midlands. Readers will take sides about George and Livia. If he was a hero in his way, she had courage of a kind he lacked. She was too utterly fearless to be reasonable: he was too reasonable to be utterly fearless. This special edition of SO WELL REMEMBERED by James Hilton has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with Little, Brown and Company, Inc., Boston, by whom it is published in association with the Atlantic Monthly Press.
