Publisher's Summary

Keith Stewart, a retiring and ingenious engineer, could not have been happier in his little house in the shabby London suburb of Ealing. There he invented the mini-motor, the six-volt generator, and the tiny Congreve clock. Then a chain of events sweeps him into deep waters and leads him to his happiest discovery yet.

Wonderful story

I first read this book on recommendation by friends on SV Little Wing. I was just as happy to hear it again Audible. It's a story that you would expect to find as interesting but because of the dignity and goodwill of the characters, you find the pacing is just right. I plan to get more of the Nevil Shuts books soon.

Amazing Story

This is a remarkable story, extremely well narrated. If you haven’t yet discovered Nevil Shute, then this is a great book to start on. If you read it and enjoy it, then you can move on to “Round The Bend” or “Pied Piper.” Happy Listening!

My favorite Neville Shute

This is a wonderful story about a regular man who lives with integrity and is not worried what others think and has found his path to happiness.
