Description
During the Second World War, British families had to live very different lives. Most of the men had left Britain to fight. This meant that women had to take over their jobs. Food was in short supply and had to be rationed. Children in towns and cities had to be evacuated to the countryside out of the danger of bombs. This book tells you all this and more about family life during the Second World War.
