Description
Little Imber on the down, seven miles from any town is the setting for Dolly's story, a place that would become infamous for its evacuation in 1943. Dolly spent nearly ten years living at 10 Church Street, Imber, where her memories brought the village to life. The isolation of Imber was both its curse and blessing, leading to the evacuation just before Christmas 1943. Yet it was Dolly's presence that made the village more than a deserted village, imbuing it with a sense of community and life. This book is a testament to the power of human connection in the face of adversity, as seen through Dolly's experiences at Imber.
