Description

War and Innocence is a World War II memoir written from the perspective of a young girl. Author Hanna Aasvik Helmersen, only eight years old when the war began, offers us an extremely clear picture of the Norwegian experience through the war years. Ms. Helmersen writes in a simple strong style. There are no clichs, no attempts at drama. Hanna is Everychild, uninhibited in this direct, almost understated account. She tells of the massacres, the deprivation, the cold and hunger, the helplessness she sensed in the grown-ups. But she also recalls the songs they sang and the games they played, the friends, the folk stories and family celebrations. War and Innocence is a fine and very personal addition to the body of literature from World War II.
