Sarah-A Life Changing Journey

A charming depiction of Suffolk life in the early 1900s and the experiences of a young girl from a simple farming background in those years. Born in Edwardian times near the town of Bury St Edmunds, Sarah Davidson, (nee Boreham) weaves a wonderful web of childish wonderment on what it was like to grow up in the beautiful Suffolk countryside in an age where people helped each other and centuries-old rural customs still prevailed. However, the sudden death of her father drastically altered her life and introduced years of hardship and poverty, relieved only slightly at the age of sixteen when she went to work in Bury St Edmunds which led a friendship with a soldier from the Suffolk Regiment, giving her a new direction. Sarah shares the joys and sorrows of that friendship and her eventual marriage to the soldier at the age of eighteen, with whom she finds happiness and a settled life. But, everything changes when her husband's Suffolk Regiment is posted to India during the early 1930s. Sarah recounts her experiences during the years of this posting in graphic detail, providing an astonishing account of life in India in the years before the Second World War through the eyes of a soldier's wife and young mother.
