Great warbride stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I really enjoyed this book; while there is a number of books about warbrides who travelled to the US, whis books gives a rare insight into the experiences of warbrides that travelled to Canada.
Personal accounts of fear and bravery.

I read this book in about 4 nights straight. I couldn't put it down. I wasnt around back then, but this book made me realize just how lucky I am and how easy we have it in todays world compared to those times during and after the second world war. The stories of their experiences made me laugh one moment and cry in another.
