5.0 out of 5 stars The story of real life during London's Blitz
Enjoyed this very much and recommend it to all who enjoy true stories of life during the last war. How did Londoners cope when they had to live with daily (or nightly) bombings? How did they cope with seeing bomb craters instead of neighbours' houses? They carried on because they had to. And some of them were able to look back and write honestly, and with humour, about those times. This is one of those books. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history or this genre!
5.0 out of 5 stars An authentic feel of wartime Britain
This author has written an excellent book about the wartime experiences of the trials and tribunals of a young married woman trying to raise a family during WWII.
3.0 out of 5 stars Not any kind of heroine
This is a fairly straightforward memoir written by a woman who didn't do much of interest during the Second World War.
5.0 out of 5 stars Poignant, worth taking heed
Was slow to start - or maybe the variety of characters was hard to follow. But after that poignant account of life during wartime.
Exellent read
I enjoy reading books about the Home Front and this is one of the best I have read. It starts just before the war began but was expected. The author has a circle of friends who are high-spirited and resilient and the book is fast paced. There is no denying the sadness as details of the deaths of some of the friends are revealed as the war progresses but the emphasis is on the stamina and courage required to live through those hard days and towards the end of the war the relief of everyone is clear and for many the brief euphoria of victory is replaced by exhaustion.
Excellent read..
I was enthralled
home front memoir
Not the most interesting I have read, but valid as all memoirs and diaries are.
