"What a great story, beautifully written. What more can you ask from a book? Starts out just a bit slow but by page 50 things really begin to happen.
An old man from England goes on vacation at the wrong time to France. He agrees to take 2 children back with him to England. Then he inadvertently ends up with more children--but the Germans are invading France.
I love Nevil Shute books and will read more soon!"
"What an absolutely fabulous book. It's an old book that I checked out from my library. It's about an old, retired man who is on vacation in France when the war breaks out. He agrees to escort several children out of France to safety.
