Both Sides of the Pond, My Family's War: 1933 - 1946

Barbara Kent Lawrence

4.9/5 (25328 ratings)

Description:In January of 1939 when Barbara Greene, a beautiful and successful young British actress, met Joe Kennedy Jr., son of the American Ambassador, she could not have expected that their relationship would lead to her emigrating to America and piloting a plane around the eastern states to publicize Bundles for Britain. Nor could her brother, Kent, have foreseen his bitter retreat from Dunkirk when he left England in January 1940 to fight in France, or his subsequent service in Cornwall, North Africa, Sicily, and Burma. Their stories portray the war on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and on the home front and battlefront. In this intensively researched and highly readable story of war and love, we also hear the stories of other ordinary people who survived extraordinary circumstances. In the words of Evan Thomas, a New York Times best-selling author, “Both Sides of the Pond captures how awful and hard it was for this family to be caught up in the war, but also how it was, at moments, thrilling, meaningful, and romantic... For anyone who wants to know what it is really like to have your world turned upside down, read this book and be shocked, thrilled and moved. From heady and improbable love affairs amidst the falling bombs to the gritty deprivations of daily life, it’s all here in a timeless, well-told tale.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
