Lost Summers: Of Days Gone By

By Sarah E Warne

Lost Summers follows "That Summer" by Jussie E. Lilliot - the true story of an evacuated family from Portsmouth who found a safe haven in the village of Kintbury, Berkshire, during World War II.

Written through the eyes of Jussie's daughter Sarah, the book explores the lives of the family after the war and how they moved on to make new lives, with marriages and their own children. The love within the family is ever-present, as post-war Britain changes through the decades, with life in Kintbury retaining its rural charm.

Lost Summers not only details a family life that will be familiar to anyone who grew up in those transformative decades, it's a fascinating first-person view of Newbury and Kintbury during the 1960s and 70s, and is richly illustrated with family photos and vivid stories.
