Résumé
June 1944. Housewife Yvonne Shaw's life on the Home Front is shattered when Hitler's terror weapons, the 'doodlebugs' or flying bombs, bombard south London. After several weeks of terror she escapes to Devon, but even there her troubles are not over. In letters written to her husband, an army officer in Scotland, she describes her experiences, from trying to buy a decent joint of meat to witnessing the devastation in her suburb.
They raise questions: Was Croydon deliberately placed in the doodlebugs' firing line? Why was its MP arrested for breaking the law? Why couldn't she escape to Scotland? Historical evidence provides answers, placing her account in context and revealing surprising stories about the government, secret services and social attitudes which confirm and challenge assumptions about this period. Yvonne's is a unique voice: brave, honest and witty.
Hers is the story of a wife, husband and son who long for the war to be over so they can live together.
