So often the media romanticises about the war and maybe some of these stories are told through rose tinted glasses.
This is an excellent collection of snapshots of life during the war. The contrast between moving from a city to the country, or from riches to poverty. The haphazard way in which Operation Pied Piper was carried out.
Being British, it’s hard to avoid the many wartime stories, the battles, the glories. The book adds an honest view of the realities and challenges of the war for those at home. This has been covered in other books, but this is well written and has some heart warming tales.
This is a book about Christmas, so it would be best consumed at a time when the contrast of Christmas past can be appreciated most.
