Another great slice of 40s life October 2, 2008

If you enjoyed the original 'Nella Last's War' then you will enjoy this second volume just the same. The end of hostilities doesn't mean the end of either Nella's writing, or her talent with words and observation. It also certainly does not mean the end of hardship and difficulty. I drove to Barrow on the strength of the first diary and was very fortunate to meet the present owners of Nella's old house - they actually bought it off the Last family forty years ago. Just sitting in her old living room, where all those words had poured onto the page, brought Nella and her time tangibly closer. I heartily recommend this book.

I bought this book for my Mum who was born in Barrow and lived there during the war.Nella writes with the pen of an ordinary woman in extraordinary times.Her writing is wonderful, from the description of an ordinary yet delightful lunch to her description of the countryside on a day out with a picnic, her fears for times to come and of course her family.Complemented with some black and white photographs,its amazing to think that if it had not been for the Mass Observation Project,we may have all been deprived of the world of Nella Last.
