Product Description

In 1939, John Wright, a four-year-old boy from a deprived but loving Middlesbrough home, was uprooted from his family & evacuated to a large house in North Yorkshire, requisitioned as a nursery school. His story is not unlike any other during the upheaval of wartime, but in this remarkably lucid & detailed set of recollections, a seventy-three-year-old man tells his story of love, loss & life with the delight & fear of a wartime child. His poignant memories of cruelty & hurt are set against a beautiful voyage of discovery as a young boy explores the Yorkshire countryside & comes of age in a unique environment, only to be struck by an unbearable tragedy. A bittersweet tale of innocence & stark realities, Child from Home explores why wartime means so much to our collective memory
- & reveals the devastating effect we have on children as we try to protect them from conflict.
