As the Punjohpur sails down the River Mersey and Liverpool disappears from view, twenty-two year old Priscilla Thornton's noble ideas of serving her country by accompanying 241 evacuees from Britain to safety in Canada are beginning to wane - and well they might. The year is 1940 and Britain is at war. When fate assigns Cilla's childhood sweetheart Ted Evans, a signaler in the Royal Navy, to the Punjohpur, he is furious to find Cilla has ignored his advice and is aboard. Four nights later, at the height of an Atlantic storm, the Punjohpur is torpedoed. In the chaos Cilla and Ted are separated. Over the course of the next three months, Cilla faces raw terror, cold, hunger, and captivity. Far from being a tale of failure and despair, this is the story of a young woman's emotional growth through her own courage and determination to survive and to be reunited with Ted.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A solidly crafted novel of human strength,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wave Me Goodbye (Paperback)
Set in 1940 when Britain was in the throes of war, Wave Me Goodbye by Jura MacLean Sherwood is a ably written novel about the British government's herculean effort to protect British children from German bombers by evacuating them to Canada, South Africa, New Zeland, and other nations. Priscilla Thornton is a young woman defies her childhood sweetheart's advice and serves her country on board one such ship, and thus becomes entrapped in a harrowing ordeal when the ship is torpedoed and she must struggle to survive, first on a life raft, and later as a prisoner of the enemy. Wave Me Goodbye is recommended as a solidly crafted novel of human strength and the determination to survive against all odds.
