Writers Live - Barrie Cassidy introduces Private Bill
10th Nov '14 @ Berkelouw Paddington


Default_cassidy_author

You are invited to meet Barrie Cassidy when he introduces his new book Private Bill at Berkelouw Books.

Barrie Cassidy's dad Bill survived more than four years as a prisoner of war in World War II. He first saw conflict on Crete in May 1941, during the largest parachute invasion in wartime history. Just four days later, Bill was wounded and captured. Twice he tried to escape with horrific consequences. He suffered greatly but found courageous support from his fellow prisoners.

His new wife Myra and his large family thought he was dead until news of his capture finally reached them.

Back home after many years of silence, unhealed wounds unexpectedly opened for Bill and Myra testing them once again.

Private Bill is a heart-warming story - told by their son- of how a loving couple prevailed over the adversities of war to live an extraordinarily, happy life.
