Gervelie’s Journey A Refugee Diary by Anthony Robinson and Annemarie Young

Published when Gervelie was thirteen; this diary tells us about a young girl’s life in a war torn country, and the difficult if not traumatic decisions her parents made in order to keep her safe. We are exposed to the vacillating emotions of a young person who is relatively safe in Britain whilst worrying about her mother and step-sister in the Republic of Congo.
