description: The days were interminable...in a household congealed into a lump of discontent and boredom. The war years were full of anguish too, for the women left behind while their men fought or suffered in prison camps. Prisoners of War exposes a new dimension of this time of enormous personal sacrifice. This is the story seen through the eyes of a child growing into premature adulthood as those around her try, with mixed results, to cope with the effect that World War II has on their lives. When her brothers go off to war, their wives move in, bringing their own sets of problems with them. And the village of Stunford is as small in heart as it is in size... This novel is another elegantly written, utterly compelling insight into a previously neglected aspect of the Second World War.
