  • "Norah and her brother are sent from England to Canada during World War Two because their parents are afraid that Hitler's army will invade England."@en
  • "It is the summer of 1940, and all of England fears an invasion by Hitler's army. Norah lies in bed listening to the anxious voices of her parents downstairs. Then Norah is told that she and her brother, Gavin, are being sent to Canada. The voyage across the ocean is exciting, but at the end of it Norah is miserable. The rich woman who takes them in prefers Gavin to her, the children at school taunt her, and as the news from England becomes worse, she longs for home."@en
  • "Pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, près de 15000 enfants anglais furent évacués dont 8000 au Canada. Norah et son petit frère Gavin furent de ceux-là. Si le garçonnet s'adapte bien à cette situation et à ses tantes d'occasion, il n'en va pas de même avec Norah. Ce roman, aux personnages bien campés, évoque avec réalisme des événements vécus. [SDM]."
