Tin Hats and Gas Masks

by JoanM.Moules (Author)

Synopsis

Johnny Bookman had not wanted to leave the security and familiarity of his London home when he was evacuated to the country in September 1939. At first, Winchurch, in Somerset seemed like a foreign land to him and he planned his escape. Anita Evesham, used to living away from her parents, treated the move as a bit of an adventure. Coming from totally different backgrounds, evacuees Anita and Johnny, an unlikely match, are thrown together during the Second World War. Anita, whom Johnny insists on calling Annie, is drawn to the young boy from the first day. Their experiences are destined to change both of their lives and the lives of their families in this heart-warming story.

Media Reviews
'I warmed to these characters at once. The portrayal of Britain in the 1940's is just as I remember it. And Joan Moules always writes a story that lifts the spirits and leaves you feeling better.' Peter Lovesey - bestselling writer
