Description
When the Germans started bombing the Cornish ports in 1941, Evelyn
Hugo's parents sought safety by marching their children fifteen miles to
a derelict cottage on the north coast, carrying all their possessions in
the baby's pram. It should have been an idyllic setting for a ten-year old
to grow up in, but the hardships of the war years were compounded
by increasing economic strife as the family grew bigger - within a few
years she found herself the eldest of nine - and her father struggled to
earn a living wage.
Eve's problems did not end with the war. Constantly picked on and
bullied by her mother and forced to work around the clock, she endured
years of oppression and hardship before finally breaking free. This is the
moving, and at times disturbing, story of the seven years Eve and her
family spent in the hamlet of Roscroggan.
