Read the book *by W***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2017* "Random Harvest" is one of my wife's favorite movies. I've watched it twice with her, and I understand why she loves it.At a secobd-hand shop a couple of weeks ago, I found a paperback copy of the author's Goodbye, Mr. Chips. I bought it, took it home, and devoured it. I have reviewed it in gooodreads.com.Then I had to read Random Harvest. Thank you, Amazon, for making it so accessible to me.If you've seen the movie, and I hope you have, you are in for a treat that is nothing short of magical. It makes me want to cry that novels don't really translate to movies. Hollywood did a marvelous job; I don't see how they could have done better.But here Charles Rainier/Smithy is realized so REALly, true, living and breathing, a man, not a movie star. We get to live his live, the small, ignorable torture that his wounded memory makes his life. You will not find him superhuman. You will find him human, not extraordinary, not really greater than any of us, and you will love him.I compared Hilton's novel Goodbye, Mr. Chips to Aaron Copland's short musical piece "Fanfare for the Common Man". This book is that, and I hope the last paragraph will make you cry as it did me. I was anticipating it, having loved the movie, but how Hilton got us there is miraculous. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great plot. Make time to read without setting aside very often. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016* I love the plot. I did not like the beginning which glorified English high society culture. And not being in on the plot which is more important than the language and values of the British, I had to keep reading without putting it down. It's not a book you can leave, then pick up again. There's too many people to keep straight. But this is a great book. I am glad I made the effort to keep reading. I also looked at Wikipedia after I finished to clarify questions I had. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ingenious Plot and Structure *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2014* I really loved this book. It had some nice surprises and plot twists, right up to the very end. The structure of the novel was really ingenious and the way it made use of the main character Rainier's amnesia and the mystery surrounding his missing years. I found the characters very appealing. Also, as a stutterer, I was really stunned to discover the way that stuttering was used as a key plot point midway through the book. I don't want to give anything away, though.The book also gives you a really good idea of what England must have felt like on the brink of World War II, and what it was like for a returning World War I vet to discover that his country was about to be plunged back into the horrors of another war with Germany,Hilton's writing is always intelligent and sensitive. Although Rainier comes across at first as a cold businessman and politician, we learn to discover more and more of his nature and his romantic side as the story progresses, and the novel turns into a wonderful romance. After reading the book, I watched the old MGM movie with Ronald Colman and Greer Garson, and it was fascinating to see how they rearranged the plot into chronological order, but still managed to retain some of the surprises from the book. The movie is even more romantic and a real gem. But I would recommend waiting to watch it until after reading the book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/53406463-random-harvest-paperback-february-4-2011](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/53406463-random-harvest-paperback-february-4-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
