_________________________ An intensely moving personal record of the experiences of children who were evacuated in World War II, with an introduction by Michael Caine _________________________ 'This vivid collection of memories recreates the whole traumatic story' - New Statesman 'Unique ... Wicks has caught all the pathos and the humour of those traumatic times in a moving book' - Yorkshire Evening Post _________________________ By this time I wanted my Mummy and Daddy and to be back in that little terraced house all together again. Later, in a strange cold bed at the end of that long weary day, I hid under the bedclothes and cried. No Time to Wave Goodbye follows the untold tales of some of the 3.5 million evacuees whose lives were suddenly and unforgettably shaken by the upheaval of war. Wicks weaves together the adult memories of children who went to school as normal only to end their day in the homes of complete strangers, within the alien landscape of the English countryside. Unknown to many of them it would now be years before they would once again be reunited with their loved ones. No Time to Wave Goodbye paints a startling and often heartbreaking picture of the evacuees' war.

A hardback volume in Fine (Amazon 'Like New') condition, in a similar dustjacket. This book is in stock now, in our UK premises. Photos of our books are available on request (the pictures you see on Alibris are NOT our own).
This happened within the lifetime of many people still alive. It gives examples of great kindness shown to children who were forced upon people who did not know them but who opened their doors and their hearts to help in a time of extreme difficulty. But there is also another part to the story. This concerns children who were exploited as cheap labour and who were sometimes exploited sexually. There was no one that the children could turn to if they were mistreated and if they tried to explain what was happening they were considered troublemakers and liars.
Some couldn't wait to get back to their homes regardless of the danger this was putting them in and others wanted to stay then for the rest of their lives. Whether they were treated well or badly, the book is fascinating and hard to put down. An excellent true story about a period still within the memory of many people.
