Pop! Goes the Weasel

By Sheelah Egan

Memories of growing up in Australia during World War II inspire a story
that weaves in and out of imagination and reality.
For two children in Melbourne, the war is distant and unreal, but, almost
imperceptibly, life is changing around them. Abruptly, they find
themselves evacuated away from a loving family to harsher circumstances
in the country.
Do their experiences destroy or strengthen them? Is this a memoir or is
it fiction? Memories are subverted by the imagination until fact can no
longer be distinguished from fiction.

Sheelah Egan

Sheelah Egan retired from a professional career many years ago. Arranging words on paper, always a pleasure, has become a passion. "Pop! Goes the Weasel" is the second book that she has completed. Readers have complimented her ability to engage them in the narrative by portraying relationships realistically, by creating authentic conversations, and by describing surroundings evocatively.
