There are a couple of possible exciting books in there: the birth mother whose stories of her life are full of lies and inconsistencies, who must have been quite the narcissist or grifter in her youth, the older sister who knows the other half of the stories and remembers the horrific Nazi occupation of Jersey. But the author had a life of relative normalcy, and even the discovery of her sister's whereabouts was done by a British television show. Interesting read, but not one I'll revisit in future. ( ) Apparently there is a British TV series called Long Lost Family. The author contacted them for help. She had been searching for her birth parents and had found them but needed help in finding a her sister. The lengthy title tells you quite a bit about the time-frame. I didn't find this book terribly well written although the author's angst was palpable. It would be interesting to anyone who is into genealogical research or who has an interest in family reconciliation. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The true story of a woman who uncovered the dramatic stories of her mother and sisters with the help of the award-winning television programme, Long Lost Family. Adopted at a young age, Cherry Durbin had spent over twenty years searching for traces of her natural mother and sister. She had given up until one day, watching the drama unfold on the television programme, Long Lost Family, her daughter suggested that maybe this was the only way she would ever find her sister. What she didn't expect to uncover was a story of a pregnant mother fleeing Nazi-invaded Jersey, a sister left behind to survive the deprivations of the German-controlled island and a family torn apart in a time when war left so many alone. Cherry's story, pieced together by a team of researchers, would bring her unimaginable sadness and joy, and answers where she had given up. No library descriptions found. |
