Letters From The Lighthouse

Description

那天晚上我們本不該去電影院。我們甚至不應該待在戶外，何況是在停電期間，更何況整個月以來德軍的炸彈像從罐子裡灑出的硬幣般不斷落在倫敦。

We weren’t supposed to be going to the pictures that night. We weren’t even meant to be outside, not in a blackout, and definitely not when German bombs had been falling on London all month like pennies from a jar.

February, 1941. After months of bombing raids in London, twelve-year-old Olive Bradshaw and her little brother Cliff are evacuated to the Devon coast. The only person with two spare beds is Mr Ephraim, the local lighthouse keeper. But he’s not used to company and he certainly doesn’t want any evacuees.
