The Wartime Evacuees series by Lizzie Page is set during World War II and deals with the experiences of families affected by wartime evacuation and disruption. A Child Far from Home (2024) opens the series, followed by The Wartime Nursery (2024), Daughters of War, and The Wartime Mother (2025).
The books explore the human cost of the war beyond the battlefield, focusing on children sent away from their homes and the women who cared for them. Page brings the same attention to women’s experiences that characterizes her other work, examining how wartime forced ordinary people into extraordinary roles. The series complements her earlier War Nurses books and Shilling Grange series, extending her coverage of the wars’ impact on daily life.
