When a Voice Becomes a Lifeline
Picture a young girl crouched in a London Underground station, the acrid smell of baked dust filling her nostrils as trains roar past. Above ground, bombs are falling. Down here, families huddle under coarse blankets, cooking on Bunsen burners, changing nappies, trying to preserve some semblance of normal life. This was Julie Andrews' childhood-not the fairy tale you might imagine for someone who would become Mary Poppins and Maria von Trapp, but something far more complicated and painfully real. Her memoir reveals how a girl with a "freak voice" and a fractured family navigated wartime chaos, emotional abandonment, and the crushing weight of early fame to find her way home-both literally and metaphorically. The River Thames wasn't just geography for young Julie-it was her emotional anchor. Born in 1935 in Walton-on-Thames, she watched this waterway wind through the English countryside, a constant presence when everything else felt unstable.
