Exciting Reviews for 'War in My Town'

I have the privilege of posting some wonderful reviews by some of the most highly respected literary journals and publications in Canada. Canadian Review of Materials, Quill & Quire, Winnipeg Free Press, Canadian Children's Book News, and Resource Links, have all come back with excellent reviews for my mother's WWII memoir, 'War in My Town'... Here is a small sample.

"Although the history of the Second World War is taught in secondary school, the focus tends to be on the Western European campaigns.... the travails of the Italian villagers situated in the area of the Gothic Line are not nearly as well known, and Ms. Graziani has done us a favour in telling the story of her mother’s childhood during the war in the village of Eglio, in northern Tuscany." - Resource Links

"Bruna's perspective as a teenage girl caught amid the hardships and horrors of war is interesting and strongly told.… War in My Town succeeds as a testament to the strength of family and community under extraordinary circumstances, and as a tiny window into a little-known fragment of the Second World War." - Quill & Quire

"Many books have been written about the Nazi occupation of other parts of Europe, but fewer exist about Italian experiences, and Graziani deserves praise for presenting this part of the war to young readers." - CM: Canadian Review of Materials
