Summary: The poignant story of a very young English evacuee during WW
Review: This is a wonderful story, beautifully written. One woman's memories of being sent to Wales to live with strangers when she was only seven years old. There were many "evacuees" during WW2 and after reading this story, I wish all of them would write of their experiences. My only quibble with the book is that I wish that the author had told the reader what became of the Welsh couple that took her in. Any reader who enjoyed the book would certainly want to know! For another wonderful story of an evacuee who went to America at age seven, read Anthony Bailey's marvelous "America, Lost and Found" and its followup, "England, First and Last"...all of these books are, sadly, out of print.
