Description

Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, this heart-warming tale follows Lily Tregenze, a young girl living in an idyllic seaside village. Her life is scarcely touched by the war until her family and 3000 other villagers are told to evacuate their homes for the Allied forces to practice their D-day landings. Amidst the upheaval, Lily's beloved cat, Tips, goes missing, prompting her to venture into the danger zone with the help of two American soldiers. As the story unfolds through the pages of her diary, Lily's grandson Michael discovers the profound impact of one adventurous cat on their lives, even sixty years later.
