Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Threads of Hope is a work of historical narrative nonfiction that tells the true story of three Basque sisters separated as children during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, and the long, uncertain path toward reunion that followed. Through their experiences, the book explores how war reshapes childhood, scatters families across borders, and leaves legacies that echo across generations.In 1937, as aerial bombings devastate northern Spain, seven-year-old twins Alicia and Araceli are placed on a refugee ship bound for England. Their older sister Aurora is sent on a different evacuation route to the Soviet Union. Their parents, Carmen and Santos, remain behind, believing the separation will be temporary. Instead, they are arrested, imprisoned, and forced into labor camps, eventually disappearing into the machinery of war and becoming presumed dead.The sisters grow up in radically different worlds. In wartime Britain, Alicia and Araceli are fostered by a working-class family who offer safety, routine, and kindness, even as rationing, air raids, and cultural displacement shape their new lives. In the Soviet Union, Aurora endures hunger, isolation, and the brutal siege of Leningrad, struggling to survive while holding onto fading memories of home. Cut off from one another and from their parents, each sister adapts in her own way, carrying grief and resilience side by side.Years later, as World War II ends, a painstaking Red Cross tracing effort reveals the impossible: their parents are alive. Against overwhelming logistical, political, and emotional barriers, the family is slowly brought back together. After eight years of separation, they reunite in Mexico-no longer the family they once were, but bound by shared loss and survival. The reunion is joyful, fragile, and complicated, as parents and daughters confront how deeply war has changed them.The final section of Threads of Hope shifts to the author's own voice. Growing up unaware of much of this history, he later uncovers letters, photographs, and long-silenced stories that explain his family's guarded silences and lingering grief. This act of discovery becomes a process of understanding not only the past, but how trauma, kindness, and perseverance are passed from one generation to the next.Grounded in documented historical events and family records, with selected scenes reconstructed to convey lived experience, Threads of Hope introduces young readers to major twentieth-century conflicts through the eyes of children. Written for upper middle-grade readers and suitable for classroom use, the book emphasizes empathy, resilience, and the quiet power of ordinary people to sustain hope-even when war tears families and futures apart. Threads of Hope tells the true story of three sisters separated by war, their parents Santos and Carmen lost to concentration camps, and a family's long path to reunion-an intimate account of loss, resilience, and survival.

An interesting letter, revealing the nuanced position of a liberal cleric on a difficult question. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 4pp, 12mo. On bifolium. Signed 'J. F. Oxon:'. Text clear and entire, on creased and worn paper, with two short closed tears at edges. Folded twice for postage. Minuted (by the recipient) at top of first page: 'I read this at the Cler[ical]. meeting - (part of it)'. The letter begins: 'My dear Mr Hutchison / In cases of persons who have knowingly contracted incestuous unions, in whatever degree - for the wife's sister is no exceptional case - I always advise that the parties be not admitted to the Holy Communion, while they are living together. / There is however plainly some difference, in a moral point of view, between the general case and those in which the parties have acted ignorantly, and possibly may be still quite unconscious of wrongdoing. This difference would be 'the more deserving of notice, if the parties should be of such an age, as to be no longer living together as man and wife. / Under these two conditions, I should be disposed to take no notice of the error, unless it were brought before me in such a way as to compel me to pronounce an opinion.' If he is forced to 'take notice', he can only say 'that they are not man and wife, and cannot be man and wife, but are living in fornication, if they live, as man and wife, together.' In the case of 'these aged people (as I understand them to be)', it is doubtful whether Hutchison is 'under obligation to raise the question, if it is not distinctly forced upon [him]', and as Hutchison is 'no longer charged with any cure of souls at Slough, being the pastor of another parish', he is 'the less bound in conscience to open the question, if the Vicar deems it wiser on the whole not to do so. Your direct responsibility is at an end.' Mackarness observes that many of 'these unhappy cases' come before him, and it is 'often necessary to say quite plainly that the persons are living in incest, and cannot be received to Holy Communion'. In cases where 'the circumstances afford any way of escape from the necessity of making this declaration, it seems the part of prudence, and perhaps of charity, to embrace it by keeping silence'. In a postscript he states that Hutchison 'may use this letter to the Vicar, if you think fit to do so.'.
