In 1930, when her mother dies,

escape being sent to an orphanage, she runs
away and goes in search of her soldier
father’s family.
“A powerful, moving and beautifully
written story.”

“Turnbull writes of children’s emotions
with a delicate touch.”
Michael Glover,
New Statesman, 1997.
“The prose is
simple in the best way: strong, limpid and fluent.
This book ought to persuade children of all ages and
both sexes that historical novels are worth reading.”
