Produktbeschreibung

The war is raging through Italy in 1943, and a young Canadian soldier struggles to stay alive. But nothing can dampen his sense of humournot hunger or horror or the shellfire that doesn't always miss. Not month after month in the thick of the fight. Tommy is irrepressible.

It doesn't sound like much fun? Well, it is...the way Tommy tells it.

Make no mistake. Tommy's not fictional. He was a real soldier, and these things happened to himall of them.

Excerpt:

The Germans, always with an eye to the main chance, had taken the opportunity to shoot at that arm, and they'd got me in the shoulder... As if this day wasn't already bad enough!
My shoulder was hurting like hell, and I wasn't about to move right away. I lay real still. If they see me, I thought, maybe they'll think I'm dead.
One of our officers stopped beside me.
"We're getting out of here. Tommy...can you walk?"
"Walk?" I declared, "...watch me run!"

Autorenporträt

Wendy Bertsch is a Canadian authora pragmatic optimist with rather eclectic interests and a pervasive sense of humour.

Toronto born and bred, she lives by the lake with a motley array of dogs and a cat, in a comfortable old house filled with books. Over a thousand books. Books in every nook and cranny.

Her first book, Once More, From the Beginning, highlights the women in the bible. It's about time! And believe me, they see things quite differently.

And in Dodging Shells, you'll meet the irrepressible Tommy, as he fights his way through Italy in World War II.
