About
"This book concerns the lives of four ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances ... They write of their experiences in an honest, moving, humorous and brave way at a time when their lives and the lives of their friends were in danger, and they illuminate what it was like to live through the Second World War in a way that most books cannot - with immediacy and intimacy, and with great regard for commomplace detail. "
