January 1939, Rosie Say, a 19 year old Englishwoman, is waving goodbye to her family at Victoria Station. Bound for the south of France, full of hope & excitement, to being work as an au pair girl. Europe may be on the brink of war but her only concerns are that of her limited French. Knowing nothing of the horrors she will later encounter after France falls to Germany in June 1940. Over 3 years later, Rosie's arrival home is front page news. She escaped an internment camp in Occupied France where she, along with 1000s of other women, were held by the Nazis. Her perilous journey has taken her via war-ravaged Spain & neutral Irel&. Lying between the two scenes is the narrative of Rosemary Say's adventures in wartime France, based on her own account. The privations of an English boarding school, as she herself said, had armoured her against the horrors of camp life. It is a story of common sense, bravery & humour, at times exciting, sometimes disturbing, but always sharply & often wryly observed. This thrilling memoir, illustrated with priceless & irreplaceably photographs, drawings & documents, makes a fitting tribute to those largely unsung civilian women who, although caught up in the greatest conflict in history, still refused to give in.
