Bought this from the National Trust Bookshop at The Vyne when we went there last Sunday for Mother's Day. It's the book I was reading when Freddie was born, so will always have a special place in my affcetions. I haven't reread it since and could remember little about it. there's much more about the tragedies of famine and war on Ukrainians in the 20th Century than I remember which is something I've read about a lot in the meantime. Fred himself is now off up in the Peak District on his epic DofE Gold Expedition - 5 nights away, 5 days intensive hiking and wild camping. he was so nervous before going up, but hopefully he is ok. He's in a mobile blackspot so we haven't been able to track him since lunchtime yesterday, so I'm a very worried parent at the moment. He is with a good bunch of friends though and they will get each other through.
