No Ordinary Life tells the story of a young couple's experience of World War II and its influence on their lives.

Produktbeschreibung
No Ordinary Life tells the story of a young couple's experience of World War II and its influence on their lives. They left their life in Glasgow for the battlefields in France, North Africa and a small Greek Island in the Aegean, and a very different life in a German POW Camp and a timber camp in the Highlands of Scotland. The book is as much about the times in which they lived as it is about them. Bravery and sacrifice became part of everyday life, and not just for the men who fought; the war changed everything for women. No longer shackled by tradition and discrimination, they took on jobs that were unthinkable one day, and ordinary the next. No Ordinary Life is a story about the resilience of love during the violent, destructive and inhumane times of a world war that changed the lives of all of those it touched.
Autorenporträt
Anne is a retired science teacher who started her working life as a medical scientist. She followed a passion to become a teacher and taught Science in the western suburbs of Sydney before taking up a position at a large independent school in the city where she taught for thirty years. Retirement brought time to write, first about her children and the remarkable journey they shared in The Gift of Adoption, and then about her parents' experience of World War II in No Ordinary Life. Her latest book, Private CRL Smith, tells another family wartime story; this time about a young Aussie on the Western Front during World I.
