The First World War is presented through its effects on children and households, not only through events at the front.
Some children have to work to meet their needs while fathers are away at the front.
Fathers leave for the front, while women and children remain behind and manage changed domestic circumstances.
Expect discussion of war’s damage, absent parents and hardship affecting children.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed.
