Carrie's War by Nina Bawden

'Carrie's War' by Nina Bawden
Are you a fan of stories that give you an insight into what it was like as a wartime evacuee? If so, then 'Carrie's War' by Nina Bawden is the book for you.

The book follows two children, Carrie and Nick Willow, during their time as evacuees. They are billeted in Wales with the unlikeable Mr. Evans and his kind, comforting sister, Auntie Lou.

The children have a hunch that Mr. Evans has been up to mischief and old tricks. However, Carrie is the one who discovers the truth (or does she?) Her discovery results in the most terrible thing she has ever done. This thing still sticks vividly in Carrie's mind, many years after the incident, when she is grown up and brings her own children to Wales, back to what she believes to be the scene of her crime.
