About this book
A summer holiday in Germany turns precarious when Conway Evans and her companions arrive in Berlin on July 29, 1914. Travelling with Lyra Nickerson and Katherine Schermerhorn, Evans describes hotel life, sightseeing and plans for a northern cruise as reports of war interrupt their arrangements. A cancelled sailing and conflicting assurances soon make leaving the country an urgent concern.
Written in the first person, this brief account follows their departure by motorcar and the stops, document checks and excited crowds along the road. Evans notices both the beauty of the countryside and the unsettling signs of military preparations. Her account keeps practical details close at hand, from wet luggage to bread and cheese bought for the drive.
