«Tussen de scherven van het geluk» is the war novel by Nevil Shute published by De Boekerij in paperback (220 pages, in Dutch).
In 1940, the bombing of Southampton disrupts the lives of Peter Corbett and his wife Joan. To escape the conflict, the couple flees in their small sailboat to Normandy; there Peter decides to enlist in the British Navy, and the novel follows the uncertainty of not knowing whether he will see his family again.
The original «What Happened to the Corbetts» was published in 1939; this Dutch edition is a translation by J. P. van der Veere.
For readers of historical fiction and the Second World War, interested in family stories during the conflict.
Nevil Shute Norway was an English novelist and aeronautical engineer who spent his later years in Australia. He used his full name in his engineering career and Nevil Shute as his pen name to protect his engineering career from inferences by his employers (Vickers) or from fellow engineers that he was "not a serious person" or from potentially adverse publicity in connection with his novels, which included On the Beach and A Town Like Alice.
