Description

In March 1940 ten-year old Ann Mari Wallenburg found herself part of a daring escape across occupied Europe. Leaving neutral Sweden as the Nazis invaded Norway, she and her mother travelled by any means possible through the horrors of Stalin's Russia, Mussolini's Italy and into France. Having survived the Luftwaffe bombing their train to Calais, arrival in Britain was short-lived. As her stepfather was on Hitler's deathlist, evacuation to America, across the U-Boat infested Atlantic was the next plan. Would Ann-Mari ever return home

Author Bio

Ann Mari Wallenberg was born in 1929 at Parkudden House in Stockholm, the third child of Marcus and Doie Wallenberg. Her unique relationship to four dynastic families, caught up in the uncertain fortunes of war, may be one of the last verbatim accounts the world will ever know. Ann Mari died in April 2019, shortly after completing this book.
