War Child: Life 1

By Annalisa Count

This captivating true story could easily be mistaken for a novel. It is beautifully written, evocative and will effortlessly transport you to Hitler's war-torn Germany in an instant.

So much happened to this war child, and indeed as she shares her profound childhood memories, she also offers an articulate war commentary that depicts the utter devastation they had to live through. Times were desperately difficult, but perhaps the lowest point of her childhood was when she and her family had to walk across Europe, begging for food and shelter. She recalls the horrific sights and smells of the Rheine battlefield in such vivid detail that you will struggle not to be moved.

Join Annalisa and watch the lessons she learns and the experiences she goes through as she transitions from childhood into adulthood. Discover how she copes with her sick mother, find out about the various lodgers they had to take in to help make ends meet, learn all about the boys who fell under her spell and their marriage proposals, and Annalisa's colourful range of jobs.

Despite the odds, Annalisa has survived to tell the tale and now almost in her 80th year, she has decided to share these intriguing memories, and hold nothing back.
