When The War Is Over

Barbara Fox, Sphere, £7.99 The poignant true story of wartime child evacuees Gwenda and Douglas Brady will have the reader smiling through tears.

In a book simply, but beautifully told, Fox explores their experiences far from home, the far-reaching tendrils of the tragedies of the Second World War, and life in its wake.

Packed with photos from the period, it’s a super read.
