In this sequel to Will’s War in Brighton (which covered the Brighton Blitz during the summer of 1940) the story focuses on the evacuee experience through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Will Maskall and nine-year-old Brenda Rodmelle. Both of them are evacuated to the Sussex Weald where they will have to adjust to an entire different way of life in strange and sometimes very odd surroundings. This book can be read separately from Will’s War in Brighton and closes off the Will’s War series by Nisse Visser. Fans of the Secret of the Wyrde Woods series might find it to their liking as the story picks up where Forgotten Road leaves off. Although Exile from Brighton does not form essential reading for that series it is an interesting extra as the main characters from Secrets of the Wyrde Woods make a guest appearance. Just as Will’s War in Brighton was based on the recollections and anecdotes about wartime Brighton, Exile from Brighton seeks to capture the evacuee experience based on people’s personal memories.
