Description
The Escape of a Princess Pat by George Pearson – A Colorful, Fascinating Historical Novel
The Escape of a Princess Pat is an exciting read for everyone interested in history, especially those who take interest in novelistic depictions not only of major events in 20th century’s history, but also of lesser known facts and different perspectives. The main plot and story set during the World War are established in the title already: the account of how Corporal Edwards was captured, how he spent the fifteen months of imprisonment he had to endure in Germany and how he escaped from captivity to reach Holland.
This well-written novel engages the reader’s attention completely, from the first sentence to the last. The vivid, colorful depictions in the book as well as the quick-paced story line make the novel not only exciting, but downright fascinating. Colorfulness applies to the descriptions that reveal life in German Prisoner of War camps, making the story realistic as well. The camaraderie between British and Canadian soldiers in the camp lends a really touching note to the entire story, making it both entertaining and educating. The novel is truly Canadian, giving a detailed description of the events that affected the life of so many Canadians – talking about the horrors of war from the point of view of the insider, the imprisoned soldier.
