Growing up in Wartime England. Begins with Vienna in the late 1930s, then covers the flight to England in 1938 and her schooling there, living in London, Bournemouth and Bedford, her father's internment in the Isle of Man, the family move to Manchester in the winter of 1942 and her education at Manchester High School for Girls, air raids and wartime privations, and illness during her teenage years and its lasting effects. [The main character in this chapter is called Gina, not Rachel: it is assumed, however, that they are one and the same.] [This is available as a PDF document - see details page.]
