About the Book

Mme Jeannine Pastor-Goulding has clear memories of her experience as a refugee in the Second World War. Her home town of Menton in the south of France was invaded by the Italian army and the inhabitants evacuated to Puget-Ville, near Toulon. But the German army soon made its presence felt in Puget-Ville, all vividly recounted through the eyes of the little girl that was Jeannine. Apart from the story which is printed in large print on good quality paper, with key theme phrases in the margin, there is a page-by-page French to English glossary and a set of comprehension questions in English. There is also guidance for discussion and further research into the area and the period described. The book is aimed at interested mature learners of French wishing to read an accessible and enthralling story, but also at secondary school classes, the most likely being Year Twelve. The story is recounted in the present tense.

Table of Contents:
There are seven chapters, divided according to dates: 1940; Puget-Ville 1940-1943; 1943 (part I); 1943 (part II); 1943 (part III); 1944; 1944-1945. Glossary. Comprehension and Research Questions; Appendix.

About the Author :
Jeannine Pastor was born in Menton (Alpes Maritimes). She was four and a half in June 1940 when the town was evacuated. She survived the ordeal, grew up and married Frank Goulding. The couple settled in North Wales.

Review :
"It is a captivating book that one doesn't want to put down. [...] The style is straightforward and clear. Indeed it sounds as though it is based on diaries written [...] at the time. It is also a revealing social history of Vichy France. [...] I won't spoil the pleasure of reading the book by listing even a few of these inferences except [this] one: there is clear evidence of a decline in the morale of the German army towards the end of the war." H.T. Amazon UK. "Looking for a short book written in relatively easy French? Interested in reading a new perspective on World War II? Cinq ans dans la vie d'une petite fille, 1940-1945 might be just what you need. Jeannine Pastor-Goulding was four and half years old and living in Menton, in south-eastern France when the war began, but even at 70 she vividly remembers what it was like to be forced to move repeatedly, to be separated from family, to be hungry for weeks on end. It's a fascinating and uncommon look at European history." L.K.L., www.about.com
