{"product_id":"byron-and-the-kindness-of-strangers-9781035840939","title":"Byron and the Kindness of Strangers","description":"In 1938, at the tender age of eighteen months, Byron Stratford Davis, the author of this memoir, first set foot on British soil. Remarkably, from that moment, his memories crystallized with exceptional clarity, etching themselves permanently in his mind. \u003cbr\u003eHis mother, with a German lover back in Hamburg, may or may not have come to England as a German spy. The decision of her true intent is left to the reader's judgment. Raised in Scotland, his mother was far from the endearing or conventional figure one might wish for. By the age of eighteen months, Byron had already developed a deep mistrust of her, and by two, he had resolved to distance himself from her entirely. Hard to believe? That's for you to judge! This tale unfolds in a modern Dickensian fashion, revealing its truths along the way. \u003cbr\u003eMore than just a World War II story, this narrative is unique in its exploration of friendship and the profound impact of the City of Brighton. It's not only a recounting of survival and self-discovery but also a love story and a heartfelt tribute to the city and its remarkable inhabitants who played a pivotal role in shaping and rescuing him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Byron Stratford Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035840939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavis, Byron Stratford:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - In 1938 at the age of 18 months, Byron Stratford Davis, a refugee child of a Scottish mother who was working in Germany and an absent American father, arrived in England from Germany.
