1939. Nine year old Susie and her sister Gyll live in Watford and all week look forward to their Saturday shopping expedition to Woolworths with their nanny to buy something nice for Mummy. But as war breaks out in Europe the girls are evacuated to Africa. Feeling abandoned and alone the sisters find their new life miserable and get no sympathy from their guardians who force them to wear patched-up clothes and be in bed by six o'clock. As time passes and letters from home stop arriving the sisters dream of escape and of returning to idyllic England. Yet when they finally do arrive home all the changes that await them make for a very different life than the one they had longed for...Intensely funny and charming Susan Kennaway writes about growing up during the Second World War with rare honesty and insight.
