Mr. Priestley Spreads a Net
Parsons, Alice Beal | August 31, 1932 issue

The article presents information about the book "Faraway," by J.B. Priestley. In this delightful yarn of three men and a girl in search of an elusive island in the Pacific, Priestley reverts to the mood and manner of "The Good Companions," but the new book is measurably better than its famous predecessor. This is not to say that "Faraway" is for all moods or all times or all readers. It is just one of those books which this reviewer, whose shelves are overflowing with books, couldn't be persuaded to sell or give away, a book that will bear many rereadings.
