The Sisters of Battle Road by Jm Maloney
In 1939 Annie Jarman and her six young daughters were evacuated from their south London home and sent to the Sussex countryside to wait out the war. Refusing to be parted, they faced the unknown together, never imagining just how much their lives would change.
This is a tale of survival - of six girls who faced bombs and prejudice alike, but who rolled up their sleeves and looked after each otherNobody could accuse the lively Sisters of Battle Road of keeping calm. But by heck, they carried on. * Daily Mail *
Survival against the odds... [an] amazing story. * The Sun *
An extraordinary story. * The Guardian *
This story hits hard with nostalgia for a vanished world where pennies counted, housewifery was taught at school and every one pulled together, untied by a common enemy. * Sussex Life *
