Omschrijving
A heartfelt, hopeful tale of the human spirit's incredible ability to recover
A heartfelt, hopeful tale of the human spirit's incredible ability to recover
An assured, thoughtful historical novel with a richly evoked post-war Welsh setting
This wonderful second novel firmly establishes Lesley as one of our finest writers of historical fiction. We should talk about her in the same way we talk about Hilary McKay, Emma Carroll & Tom Palmer ... I hope it reaches the wide audience that it truly deserves
A gentle story about the effects of war and standing up for what you believe in, When the War Came Home’s hopeful and resilient story is sure to resonate with readers no matter the age... a light-hearted yet deeply emotional read
If you're looking for something to look forward to in the first month of 2022, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this novel to children and adults alike. It's another wonderful history lesson in a book with all the power and emotion we need to really unlock the past
This is highly atmospheric historical fiction, combining authentic detail with themes of class and social justice that still resonate today
With echoes of Carrie's War and Goodnight Mister Tom, Parr brings her own fresh voice to what already feels like a wartime classic. This story is quietly brutal and brilliantly heartfelt. I absolutely ADORED it. - Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse
Beautifully told ... This appealing book is about losses healed, lies uncovered, cruelty defeated and goodness rewarded - Children’s Book of the Week, The Sunday Times
Atmospheric, direct and gripping, with a superbly assured narrative voice, this book is woven through with powerful themes: grief, belonging and making peace with the past. - Guardian

Apart from books, rugby union is her favourite thing in the world, especially if Wales are winning.
