Born During the First World War - My Mother's Memories of an Interwar Childhood

This is the compact A5 edition. A girl grows up in a privileged household in the aftermath of the First World War. Her parents, who are wealthy and talented but remote, self-absorbed and undemonstrative, send her away to school. She struggles with her own unhappiness and a growing awareness of the suffering of those around her during the interwar years. She then serves in the British Army during the Second World War.
