Hearty congratulations dear Robbie and from the review the book sounds amazing. I so agree how people must have felt during the World Wars, so scared and who knows what would happen next. God bless.

Congratulations, Robbie for writing this book with your mom. It’s good for people to understand or not to forget the lives during wartime and how they suffered yet still tried to maintain some kind of daily routine! I’m heading over to Amazon.

Thank you, Miriam. It is strange to read about the impact of the war on daily life as it is not something that is focused on at all when you study history at school or Uni. I appreciate your support, Miriam.

You’re welcome, Robbie. I understand how it goes. A lot of real life details lost in the history books which only record the general facts.
