| Synopsis Twelve-year-old Rusty isn't sure she likes being back in England. After spending five years as an evacuee in America, she's used to American ways. It's hard getting to know her mother again, but even harder to get used to all the restrictions the English seem to have. Outspoken and friendly, Rusty--called Virginia in England--cannot fit in, either at home or at the strict boarding school her parents feel fit to send her to. Will England ever be her home again?
Publisher's Note A 1984 ALA Best Book for Young Adults, this heartwarming story by the author of Good Night, Mr. Tom blends a post-World War II backdrop with the cultural cross-currents of an English and American upbringing. "A marvelous look at the complexity of mother-daughter relationships".--NCTE's Your Reading. ‘Rusty Dickinson was sent to the United States from England at the age of seven in 1940 to survive the war. When she returns in 1945, she finds a country and a family she neither understands nor likes, and vice versa. A marvelous look at the complexity of mother-daughter relationships." —ALAN Review. | See an error? Submit a change request | ||||||||||||||||
