Round the Bend is a 1951 novel by Nevil Shute. It tells the story of Constantine , Connie & Shaklin, an aircraft engineer who founds a new religion transcending existing religions based on the merit of good work. It deals with racism, including the White Australia policy, and also with the importance of private enterprise. It was one of the first novels Shute wrote after emigrating from Britain to Australia in 1950. Nevil Shute Norway (17 January 1899 – 12 January 1960) 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, in order 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.
