This lyrical memoir from the bestselling author of Maisie Dobbs will transport you to war-torn London, where Jacqueline Winspear's parents were displaced from their homes and forced into battle. She recounts her parents' stories of their own childhoods, their departure from London in favor of country life—and folds in memories of her own, from childhood accidents to picking hops in rural Kent to visiting congregations of relatives, and so much more. Winspear's poignant portrait of her life is so vivid that you risk confusing it with your own. Poetic, witty, and utterly inspired, this is one memoir you shouldn't miss.
