Exclusive Excerpt from Half The World Away

> Margaret stood on the beach, watching as the boats made their way across the channel to Dunkirk. She was filled with a sense of dread as she realized that she might never see her husband again.

> She took a deep breath and turned away from the beach. She had a job to do, and she couldn't let her emotions get in the way. She walked back to the makeshift press tent and began to write her story.

> She wrote about the chaos and confusion on the beach. She wrote about the bravery of the soldiers as they fought their way to the boats. She wrote about the desperation of the civilians as they tried to escape the advancing German troops.

> She wrote until her fingers were numb and her eyes were blurry. She wrote until she could no longer hold back the tears.

> When she was finished, she handed her story to a runner, who would take it back to London and file it with her editor. She hoped that her story would help the world to understand the terrible cost of war.
