Description

'I've met such interesting people, and always heard unbelievable stories about people's lives. If I could put all in written language and sequence, I could write books, I'm sure.' - Nella Last, September 1946 Outwardly Nella's life was probably seen as ordinary; but behind this mask were a lively mind and a persistent pen - a pen that never gave up over almost three decades, reporting, describing, pondering and disclosing. Nella, 55 when the war ends, writes of what ordinary people felt during those years of privation, hope and the rebuilding of Britain, providing a moving and inspiring account of the years that shaped British society today. Her diary offers a detailed, moving and humorous narrative of the changing experiences of ordinary people at this time, and thoughts on the aftermath of war and whether 'peace' really meant peace, for everyone.
