Rating: - Exceptional
This dramatisation of a best selling novel is exceptional. The acting is beyond reproach and the film set is realistic in taking you back in time to the experience of these young wartime evacuees.

Beware this film will certainly tug at your emotions and is surely destined to become a classic. It is a film that does justice to the author’s original written work.
