| | Ruby Side Thompson
| This is the fourth and final in a series of diaries written by Ruby Alice Side Thompson. All of the diaries are written during World War ll in Romford, Essex a suburb outside of London. You will read about enduring incessant air raids, bombing, stress and terror, day after day. Ruby brings history into reality. The details, the emotions, fears and the way lives were crippled due to the constant unknown.
These are the brutally honest accounts of Ruby's life as she saw things as they happened. They are her innermost thoughts, feelings, jubilations, and frustrations. She truly was born too early for her time, but because of when she was born and the awful situations she found herself in, we are allowed have a small peek into the past from which we can see a family trying to survive the London Blitz during World War II. Ruby has a tight grasp of the goings-on of the war, and she isn't afraid to add her opinions to the mix.
Every up and down in her moods and in her life is documented, and her candidness is what makes this book a page-turner. If you have ancestors who were alive during World War II, especially in the UK, then this book is a good place to find how towns, households, and family members lived and what life was like during WW2 during the London Blitz.
