The day war broke out in September 1939 she went to live there with her grandmother but soon experienced homesickness. Back at home growing up an only child she hid the loneliness she felt without siblings and struggled with emotions she found hard to control, saddened by the fact that her parents seemed unable to display their love for each other. This made her determined that she would one day show love in abundance. Meanwhile she gained great comfort and happiness from her newfound Christianity and after an illness caused by a heartbreaking affair she fell passionately in love with a man only five years younger than her father. Her emotions were then tested to their limits.

My wife and I found this a most interesting story. We found it difficult to put aside once we had picked the book up. Written by a lady who has had many ups and downs in her life, but still hangs on to her faith in God.
Her family are obviously proud of her achievements, and she certainly deserves recognition.

Irene's memoirs are a fascinating read,hard to put down once started.I found the early part of the book most interesting as some of the places and people were known to me. Irene's life was often difficult but love and her faith helped her to continue and become the strong person she is today.

A very interesting book of a woman's life. Full of courage during difficult times and evocative of a time of austerity. Her determination to provide the best for her family is an example to us all. Well worth reading.
