Inspired by true events... 'Moving and authentic' Dinah Jefferies
'Vivid, heart-rending and so, so beautiful' Jenny Ashcroft 'A
beautiful, tender and fascinating story' Sinead Moriarty 'Deeply
moving. Be prepared - have handkerchiefs on standby at the end'
Antonia Senior, The Times 'An inspiring novel about the power of
determination, courage and unity' Woman's Own China, 1941. With
Japan's declaration of war on the Allies, Elspeth Kent's future
changes forever. When soldiers take control of the missionary
school where she teaches, comfortable security is replaced by
rationing, uncertainty and fear. Ten-year-old Nancy Plummer has
always felt safe at Chefoo School. Now the enemy, separated
indefinitely from anxious parents, the children must turn to their
teachers - to Miss Keny and her new Girl Guide patrol especially -
for help. But worse is to come when the pupils and teachers are
sent to a distant internment camp. Unimaginable hardship,
impossible choices and danger lie ahead. Inspired by true events,
this is the unforgettable story of the life-changing bonds formed
between a young girl and her teacher, in a remote corner of a
terrible war. Shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards for Popular
Fiction Book of the Year USA Today bestseller Published in the USA
and Canada under the title When We Were Young and Brave.
