Marking Time
by Elizabeth Jane Howard
The wonderful sequel to The Light Years returns readers to Britain in September, 1939, as war breaks out. Sheltered Louise, now 16, goes from cooking school to London parties. For 14-year-old Polly, the terrors of war cannot forestall the pangs of adolescence. And though Clary's father has been reported missing since Dunkirk, she holds to the belief that he's alive.
Fugitive Pieces
by Anne Michaels
This first novel from an award-winning poet -- a #1 best-seller in Canada -- is certain to propel her into the front ranks of our very best practitioners of contemporary fiction.It is a story of World War II as remembered and imagined by one of its survivors: a poet named Jakob Beer, traumatically orphaned as a young child and smuggled out of Poland, first to a Greek island (where he will return as an adult), and later to Toronto. It is the story of how, over his lifetime, Jakob learns the power of language -- to destroy, to omit, to obliterate, but also to restore and to conjure, witness and tell -- as he comes to understand and experience what was lost to him and of what is possible for him to regain.Profoundly moving, brilliantly written -- as sensual and lyric as it is emotionally resonant -- Fugitive Pieces delves into the most difficult workings of the human heart and mind: the grief and healing of remembrance. It is a first novel of astonishing achievement.
Little Ships
by Louise Borden
A spare and dramatic account of a memorable event in World War II In May of 1940, many countries in Europe were at war with Nazi Germany. Half a million British and French soldiers were trapped in France on three sides by German troops. Their only escape route was the sea. An incredible armada of over eight hundred craft including Royal Navy ships and a flotilla of small boats thereafter known as "the little ships", was assembled on the southeastern coast of England. They sailed across the English Channel to Dunkirk in France to rescue the besieged troops. In her graphic and deeply moving text, Louise Borden tells the story of one small fishing craft that was part of the armada, from the point of view of a young girl who sailed with her father on their family boat. This story of that incredible venture is part truth, part fiction. It could have happened. Michael Foreman, a distinguished English illustrator, has created remarkable pictures that vividly bring alive this historic rescue in World War II.
