It was just as good as VN's earlier books, wonderful social history. Few Eggs & Nella Last are also excellent, some of my favourite books about WWII.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-61833019636474122822012-12-10T01:09:11.772+11:002012-12-10T01:09:11.772+11:00I read some raves about this a few months ago and ...I read some raves about this a few months ago and ordered a copy right away -- which is naturally sitting on the TBR shelf. I'm watching The Land Girls series from the BBC so I think it will inspire me to read some more WWII books. I also have Few Eggs and No Oranges from Persephone and Nella Last's War. I've heard great things about both of them.

I have seen it reviewed elsewhere positively so yours, added to the rest, definitely tips the title higher up the TBR pile. I love social history like this one so thanks for the review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
