Reviews
Reaching middle age, Chadwick writes movingly of her childhood in wartime Germany. Her courageous mother, vehemently albeit privately opposed to Hitler's regime, emerges as the heroine of the tale. The image of her mother listening to the forbidden BBC broadcasts while hidden under a blanket remains vivid decades later. Virtually singlehandedly, this remarkable woman shepherded her four children safely through the ravages of war: the bombings, displacements, and the invasion of the Russian army. As Chadwick describes the devastation and terror that interrupted the ordinary events of her youth, one realizes afresh that everyone suffers in wartime. Her story makes a powerful impression .

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 132 pages. Contains inscription from author to prominent British Columbia author Joe Garner. Someone once said, "Some things we see too soon for them to make any impressions." That is Anna's story. She didn't know the meaning of rape, or that her mother was living the war on a different level, but Anna did know that all beautiful women were part of the spoils of war. Bombed, shot at, walking on feet bleeding with broken blisters, Anna's mother wheeled two infants in a baby carriage, followed by Anna and her brother pulling a children's wagon, throught the excited, rapacious and advancing Russion Army. And through dead and wounded Germans. This is a story of extraordinary grit and determination. The more you read, the more you will love Anna and admire her mother. Signed by Author(s).
