Review: The Teacher Evacuees

 

There are more dangers than German bombs in wartime...

Canadian-born teacher Victoria takes up a new position at a London school, but soon finds herself coordinating its evacuation to a Norfolk village along with standoffish spinster Beatrice and quiet young Nell. Victoria has to adapt to life in the countryside, petty politics and local busybodies. 

 When she meets attractive naval officer Louis Grainger, romance blossoms. Victoria is drawn into a clandestine world and told that she is helping the British government, but after she catches Louis covertly meeting a suspicious stranger in nearby woods, she fears the worst -- a traitor in their midst.

 It's a race against time for Victoria to discover the truth and keep the village -- and the country -- safe from invasion. 

 A thrilling and compulsive Second World War saga for fans of Lesley Eames, Katie Flynn and Betty Walker.

Review

I read a lot of historical fiction so I am always fascinated by a book that teaches me a thing or two, especially about the vastly covered World War II era. This book was beautifully done. The teachers carry a heavy burden as they accompany the children from London to the rural areas deemed safer from the war. The kids need their teachers and the story reminds us why EVERY kid needs a good teacher. 

It would've been easy to rely on heartstrings to carry the novel, but Rose Warner masterfully creates plots ad character that create a delightful and intriguing story that will keep you reading into the night.
