Though the book is fiction, it still depicts real events of World War 2. Of all the years I’ve studied the war, back to when I was a child even, I had never knew about the ship full of refugee children that was torpedoed on its way to Canada in 1940 because Britain refused to take them in. “The City of Benares.” Huge tragedy to have never been heard of in mainstream history…wow.
