The Children of Lingfield House - Titti Marrone, Manilla Press recenzia

In 1945, twenty-five children, between the ages of four and fifteen, were welcomed to Sir Benjamin Drage's large country villa, Lingfield House. There they would receive the care of psychoanalyst, Anna Freud, daughter of the great Sigmund, and Alice Goldberger, her trusted colleague. Having enduring childhood in the confines of the concentration camps, orphanages and the hideouts where their parents left them during the war, each of the children has a different, terrible and special story, each carries their own personal hell.Alice and her team fight to give them back a childhood, teaching them how to trust again and even find happiness after unfathomable horror. Lingfield House becomes a refuge and haven for the traumatised. Author, Titti Marrone, has dug into the archives, cross-referenced documents, revealed photos, diaries and letters to convey Lingfield's courageous and moving experience into a heartfelt and heartbreaking story.
