Winnipeg, MB: Heartland Publications, 2011. Soft cover. Near Fine. INSCRIPTION FROM MARGARET on ffep; SIGNED BY MARGARET OWEN on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; award sticker on front cover; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Margaret Dennis was 7 years old in 1941 when her father, Lieutenant Victor Dennis, was sent with the Winnipeg Grenadiers to defend Hong Kong against the Japanese army. The Battle of Hong Kong was a fiasco and on Christmas Day 1941, the Canadians surrendered. They spent the next four years in a prisoner of war camp. The Home Front is the story of his loved ones at home. Told through the eyes of young Margaret, it portrays her mother, Lucy, and younger brother and sister during the four long years their father was away. With poignancy and humour, the author offers a colourful picture of Canadian life during the dark days of World War II.
