A heart-wrenching story from the bestselling author of The
Throwaway Children. Thirteen-year-old Lisa has escaped from Nazi
Germany on the Kindertransport. She arrives in London unable to
speak a word of English, her few belongings crammed into a small
suitcase. Among them is one precious photograph of the family she
has left behind. Lonely and homesick, Lisa is adopted by a
childless couple. But when the Blitz blows her new home apart, she
wakes up in hospital with no memory of who she is or where she came
from. The authorities give her a new name and despatch her to a
children's home. With the war raging around her, what will become
of Lisa now? Can't wait for the sequel? The Married Girls is out
now! What readers are saying about The Girl With No Name: 'Diney
Costeloe has perfectly captured the traumatic atmosphere of the war
years both in London and the countryside ... Highly recommended'
'The characters leap from the pages. The Blitz scenes were
palpable, imagining what Londoners endured during WW2. Love all
Diney's books' 'The author writes with good pace, and excellent
descriptions of place and characters, but her main skill is in
conveying the personal dilemmas faced by her characters. I shall
definitely seek out more books by this author'.
