And A Nightingale Sang by Marianne Sells (WW2 memoirs novella)

My late mother, Marianne (Potential Debutante, Barnardos Children's Nurse and Granddaughter of Sir Richard Gregory) had been writing her memoirs about her childhood living in rural Sussex during WW2, for half my life. Admittedly, I never had much interest in her writing, but when she passed away in July 2017, five and a half long years after a long battle with vascular dementia, I collated all her paperwork (scattered everywhere throughout the family home, as her mind worsened) and took it upon myself to self-publish her book. It took many long and painful months to finally get it into a tangible format before I could produce what you have here in your hands. She was always good at entertaining and telling wild stories, admittedly whilst reading this, I realised what a beautiful, funny and equally heart-breaking story it is.Paperback Novella 88 pages
