Reviews for Farming, Fighting and Family: A Memoir of the Second World War
`Miranda McCormick ... vividly and touchingly portrays life on the front line and in a rural England of which today we only have fading memories. If, like me, you do not want to forget, you will find in its pages insight and illumination in abundance.'
