The River: A Story of Young Love and Adventure

The story is set in the early days of the Second World War and tells of a young Jewish boy, Alfie, from the East End of London who is evacuated to a farm in Gloucestershire.

The experiences there are very new to him, and he meets a young Gypsy girl. Esmeralda, and together they forge a friendship that grows stronger as they experience adventures together.

Their adventures cross boundaries of time and countries and give them a close insight into important episodes in American history.

They meet many diverse characters from a historical period of great upheaval whilst still retaining a foothold in the traumas of wartime England.

In the end however old or young we are, love can grow from friendship, but friendship is the most important ingredient.
