The five members of the Farthing family move to London because their house has been sold and Father needs to recover from his illness. Meanwhile Mother goes out to work in a shop. Vivien the oldest daughter keeps house and the younger two children John and Dinah make periodic appearances being exuberant in that way that younger siblings in books are.

This was a nice family story though. It is the type of thing that I read for comfort.

Monica Redlich married a Dane and moved to Copenhagen in 1939. These are her observations of that year. There is no mention of the impending war, rather it focus on daily life in Copenhagen. It is straightforward, sensitive, and unpretentious.
