This is the true story of a 15-year-old girl’s experience of World War II, based around her parent’s hotel in a sleepy Worcestershire village. As war is declared, her father prepares three bullets for the invasion. He will shoot the family and himself when the Germans come. In their village, local Germans are imprisoned (guilty or not). The blackout is immediate and has tragic consequences. There is a court case over an alleged poker game. An abortion nearly results in tragedy. Handsome young airmen fly low over the hotel. Pamela has a premonition of death. The business fails. An air raid very nearly kills them all. She is called up first to factory work and then to the Land Army. She marries by special license. As the war comes to an end she is living at home with her parents and a small baby, at which point she is just 21years of age. Amusing and entertaining, surprising and often moving, Pamela's account vividly captures one family’s life on the home front in Worcestershire.
