True to Both My Selves: A Family Memoir of Germany and England in Two World Wars

This is the story of three generations of women and their struggle for survival and integrity as individuals in times divided by war. Curiously mirroring her English grandmother, who married a German hairdresser in London and was expelled to Germany after World War I, Katrin Fitzherbert was born in Germany in 1936 and lived under Hitler's regime until, at the age of 11, she was suddenly repatriated to an England she had never known. There she had to forget her German father and the German language.
