A story of pain and love and how love conquers all
An enthralling read from the pen of one of the masters of the genre.

Underpinned by the author's meticulous research, A Ration Book Childhood takes you into the blitz as if you had been physically taken back in time. You can hear the wailing of the moaning minnie- the name given to the siren and the explosions of the bombs, even feel the ground shaking, and besides the ravages of war, your heart is torn with the searing pain of betrayal as you walk in Ida's shoes.

For this is a tale set to the backdrop of London's East End's war... the shining courage of its folk and their 'family first' attitude to life.

The Brogan's are one such family. With daughters coping with little children while husband's are away fighting, or, as with one, locked away at His Majesty's pleasure, the matriarch, Ida, is crumbling under the pressure of a discovery that has rocked the foundations of her world.

A gripping saga. A page-turning novel. A read you shouldn't miss - but will when you come to the end. Highly recommend this wonderful book - deserving of much more than five star rating.
