Blackouts to
Bright Lights: Canadian War Bride Stories
Edited by Barbara Ladouceur &
Phyllis Spence
In this bestseller, thirty-six
Canadian war brides recount their early lives, their involvement in
wartime duties, the magical/funny moments when they met their Canadian
husbands-to-be and their journeys from Britain to Canada. The stories
convey courage and humour: qualities that carried the war brides
through the difficult war years and that contribute to lively reading
today. Over 50 photos.
"Shropshire to Whitehorse, London
to Duncan, bombs to babies...what flexible and resourceful
women!" P.K. Page
