True To Both My Selves by Katrin Fitzherbert

TRUE TO BOTH MY SELVES is an extraordinary account of a childhood disjointed by country and by war. Curiously mirroring her English grandmother, who married a German hairdresser in London and was then expelled to Germany following the First World War, Katrin Fitzherbert was born in Germany in 1936 and lived under Hitler's regime until, at the age of eleven, she was suddenly 'repatriated' to an England she had never known. There she had to forget her German father and the German language. This is the story of three generations of remarkable women, and their struggle for survival and integrity as individuals in times divided by war.

It is, I think, an important book, filling a historical gap which has long been thereA very brave book, profoundly moving, it should be read by all generations * MARY WESLEY *
'An intensely moving account, told with an honesty and integrity that inspires respect and understanding * LORD CALLAGHAN *

Katrin Fitzherbert is married, has two daughters and lives in Hanwell, London W7 and Totnes.
