A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is the story of a young evacuee from Liverpool sent to live in the Welsh town of Llanelli. Separated from his mother, brothers and sisters, six-year-old Ray Evans was dispatched to a series of families who ignored, exploited and brutalised him. Pushed from pillar to post, he finally finds happiness with a family who make him so welcome that he is reluctant to leave when war ends. Set in a world of ration books, air-raid sirens and ever-present danger, this is a candid and direct account of wartime Britain as seen through the eyes of a child.

He spent two years in Egypt as a member of the Royal Army Medical Corps. In the mid Sixties he started a wholesale clothing business, which he ran until he moved with his family to the United States in the mid 1990s. He now lives in Virginia.
