Children of war : the Second World War through the eyes of a generation

The novelist Susan Goodman, herself a child of the Second World War, appealed for stories to commemorate the experiences of a special generation. This remarkable book is the result. A rich tapestry of the dramatic, poignant and everyday, its compelling first-hand stories reflect not only British life during the Second World War, but also the experience of refugees from the KINDERTRANSPORTS. Nostalgic, funny, tragic, positive, bleak, and evocative - these voices form a narrative that is hard to put down, and bring back to life an era that shaped a generation.
