Escape From Shangri-La

Heartwarming tale of family and wartime memories.

If you're moved by stories of familial bonds and the echoes of the past, "Escape from Shangri-La" could resonate deeply with you. Michael Morpurgo has a gift for making history feel personal, and in this book, he interweaves the stark realities of war with the tender narrative of a grandchild's devotion. It’s a read that promises to leave an imprint, perhaps reminding us of our own family stories and the legacies we share.

Description

A gripping and heartfelt war story from Britain’s best-loved children’s author, Michael Morpurgo. Turned away by his own son, Cessie’s long-lost grandfather finds himself in the place he fears most: a nursing home called Shangri-La. Only Cessie loves him and is determined to help him escape and unravel the truth of his past—a past that comes to him only in glimpses: a lifeboat, a tin of condensed milk, a terrifying night on the beaches of Dunkirk in World War II.
