My Story: Our Enemy, My Friend: The Diary of Emma Shelldrake by Jenny Blackman

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

It is 1915, and Australia is involved in the Great War. Young Australian men are dying in the trenches of Europe. The village of Wirreebilla in the Adelaide Hills seems peaceful and far away from the battlefields. But is it really so peaceful?

German settlers are being treated increasingly as aliens by Wirreebilla locals, and old friends become the new enemy.

When Emma Sheldrake experiences this hatred first-hand, she begins to understand how difficult wartime can be for everyone.
