When two sisters aged eight and ten decide to leave Mrs Bains` house in Kettering, where they`ve been evacuated during the war, they little know what adventures lie ahead of them. A night in a deserted house in a wood, a bull in a field, a strange man offering them crisps, a mysterious but nice French lady on a train... and finally London, where they belong. Can Mary and Ellen make it back home - and will Mum and Dad still be there? We`re Coming Home shows perfectly the endearing chaos in the children`s minds as they try to make sense of their surroundings, the fears they hide, and the hope that keeps them going. It`s a beautiful story, ideal for those with long memories, and for those who are still young. Bernie Cronin and her sister were evacuated in 1939, at a younger age than the children in the story. After a short time they were brought back to London where they spent the war years, experiencing nightly air raids. Bernie became a teacher. She still loves London, but is now living in Hertfordshire, where she enjoys walking a border collie with her grandchildren.
