Description: In 1939 the two young children of the aristocratic Couturie family were sent on an ill-timed vacation to Ireland with "Wally", their Irish nanny. War broke out and for four long years eleven-year-old Sylvia and eight-year-old Marguerite were stranded in a remote corner of neutral Ireland in the clutches of a semi-literate, self-obsessed, deeply bigoted governess who refused to relinquish control of her charges, even when they were reduced to living in squalor.

This is Sylvia's memoir of those childhood years, told with heartwarming simplicity. She evokes the crushing loneliness of children, the terror of separation, and the growing pangs of adolescence with a brilliant and insightful, sensitivity. Wrenched from the privileged world they knew and submerged in the foreign, and to them, semi-barbaric clime of rural Ireland, left in the care of an unfeeling woman, Sylvia and Marguerite survive by drawing on inspiring reserves of determination, humor, and resourcefulness.

With this captivating memoir, Sylvia Couturie has given readers a fascinating window on a forgotten corner of the world at war.
