22 Britannia Road - Amanda Hodgkinson (2011)
In this novel we find more displaced persons. Silvana and her son Aurek arrive in post war Britain to meet up with Janusz, her husband who she hasn't seen in six years. The story flicks between the present and their early life in Warsaw together, and the journeys they mad throughout the war. Both find it difficult to settle down in the future and are haunted by their wartime experiences.
I thought Amanda did a stellar job in telling the stories, and I was drawn into this book over a grey and chilly weekend. It was a pleasure to curl up on the bed and read - 4/5
