En savoir plus sur le livre
“How Far Away Is Never” is a true life story about WWII, as seen through the eyes of a child from Croatia. She tells of her happy times and subsequent misery under Tito’s Yugoslavia. It is an untold story of a nation once silenced, about the people who died with her, and for her, and their agony and defeat. Margaret’s book may be about those tragic times but she chooses to focus on her triumphs, her courage to survive under constant attacks by Tito’s Partisan, British and Russian bombings as their planes deployed one bomb after another at will. The footprints she left across the Austrian mountains in her wooden shoes may still be there, but at war’s end it was her faith and Catholic Church that bound her wounds and kept the beacons of hope alive. However dimly it burned, Croatia was always with her.
