Across a War-Tossed Sea by L.M. Elliott
3.0
Companion to "Under a War-Torn Sky"
Although it is labeled as a companion novel, this feels more like a sequel to me, even though I haven't read the other book. In the first book, brothers Wesley and Charles left England in 1943 to escape the bombing. They survived a treacherous ocean crossing and joined relatives in Virginia.
Now the boys are trying to adapt to life without their parents as well as fitting into a rural society instead of the city life of London that they are used to. Things get even more difficult for them when they discover that there is a camp of German POWs nearby - and that they might be coming to work on their farm.
Well-written and insightful. Also covers a topic within WWII that isn't discussed much with the POWs here in America.
