Their inconspicuous correctness makes almost a display of concealment. A novel about a man who wakes up one day in 1919 and finds he can’t remember anything about the last three years of his life. There's too many people to keep straight. But two years after he was reported missing in action, he appears in a Liverpool hospital with no memory of the time that has passed. I am also a huge Greer Garson fan and could not reconcile the character in the book, who is a rather shallow caricature, to the same role that she played on screen, nor could I get passed the fact that as I was reading the book, I was not finding it as compelling as the screenplay. From the time of his injury in a trench in Germany to over 2 years later when he 'came to himself' on a park bench in England, he can't remember a thing. It's an excellently written, interesting narrative with well-drawn characters but I felt there was something a little dispassionate about it.

There is an element of suspense...of mystery...of romance...which when all combined makes for memorable story.

Hilton's work can be passionate without being overly-sentimental, can explore the past without relying on easy nostalgia, can remain hopeful without resorting to unrealistic expectations, and can instill a hope for future unity without seeming preachy or nationalistic.

I don't want to give anything away, though.Great plot. I really loved this book.

He was wounded during World War I and received a head injury. I found the characters very appealing. It has a dark side, and a joyous heart rending thread. The movie is not nearly as detailed in what happens to Charles in the various stages of his life as the book is.

Sites with a short overview, synopsis, book report, or summary of Random Harvest by James Hilton. Random Harvest is a novel written by James Hilton, first published in 1941. An appalling edition which I couldn't bring myself to read. Not many books are set in this time period, especially if they don't have anything to do with the war.
