Overview
In 1942 Gunda Lambton was a "war guest," a single mother sent from England to Toronto to avoid the war. While insanity raged throughout Europe she struggled to keep herself and her two small children going in a strange new home. Sun in Winter captures her keen interest in life in Canada and draws vivid pictures of the many people who helped her survive.
It is dedicated to these great-hearted people and to the city of Toronto, which emerges as one of the story's central characters. Almost all Canadian families were involved in war work, directly or indirectly. While most memoirs of the time stress the dramatic and heroic, Sun in Winter is a tribute to the quiet areas of endurance and pleasures of discovery that also distinguished these years.
