Trouble In The Amen Corner [Large Print]

By Betty Kellar

A lively, true story of a woman's courage during the Second World War, holding together her family of a widowed daughter and three young grand-daughters. The author, the eldest grand-daughter, writes of the family's life after moving, in 1942, to Torpoint, a small town on the Cornish side of the River Tamar, facing Devonport Dockyard. 'Gan' dominates the story. She is often harsh and unbending but overlying everything is her indomitable spirit, the strength with which she copes with the dangers and shortages of war. Close-knit family life in the 1940's, people's attitudes to patriotism and danger, the strong influence of schools and teachers, growing up in the "Renovated Garment" era...all these themes run through the book, brought to life by many amusing drawings.
