I enjoyed the Shilling Grange Children’s Home series so much, so it wasn’t long before I wanted to read more of what Lizzie Page had to offer.

A Child Far from Home starts in 1939 when Jean sadly has to let her daughter Valerie evacuate London and stay in Somerset and we follow both character's journeys throughout the war and post-war too.
This was heartbreaking to read from both character's sides, not only being away from each other but the events that happen throughout. It was a book that pulled on the heartstrings.

I will definitely be reading more from Lizzie Page!
