Both as a work of history and as an upmarket version of Who Do You
Think You Are? this book is a great success
*The Sunday Times*
A fascinating blend of biography and history, which poignantly
evokes the pain and loss attendant on exile, in both wartime and
peace.
*Daily Telegraph*
In Finding Poland, about his grandmother's deportation from Poland,
he has a cracking story which he tells with compassion, verve, and
the professional historian's restraint and accuracy
*Irish Times*
Moving book...Scholarly without being oppressive, Kelly's book
reminds us how millions of people in the last century were uprooted
by war and ideology, their expectations blown to the winds, their
horizons utterly altered.
