Description

A young girl's diary account of the Second World War, as seen through her own eyes. In 1939, at just nine years old, Flossie's life is turned upside down when her father joins the army and she is left to care for her baby brother. Her diary becomes a vital outlet for sharing news from home and abroad, as she navigates the challenges of war. As the years pass, Flossie faces many hardships, including the arrival of evacuees and the loss of her sweetheart. Yet, her courage, humour and fighting spirit see her through to the Armistice, when she can finally welcome her father home. This poignant and powerful diary account is a testament to the resilience of a young girl in the face of war. With its honest and relatable portrayal of life during the Second World War, this diary is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in this period of history.
