The acidly heartwarming tale of the relationship between a WWII orphan evacuee and his foster mother, set against the backdrop of the Blitz. From the author of Their Finest Hour & A Half, which is currently in development for a film, this will appeal to fans of Beryl Bainbridge, Alan Bennett and Jane Gardam. Now in paperback. When Noel Bostock - aged ten, no family - is evacuated from London to escape the Blitz, he winds up in St Albans with Vera Sedge - thiry-six, drowning in debts. Noel may have been moved to safety, but he isn't actually safe at all .
