This collection of poetry and prose by Vera Brittain was compiled to commemorate the90th anniversary of end of World War I in November of 1918. The volume also serves to commemorate those close to Brittain that were killed in WWI, her brother Edward, fiance Roland Leighton and two friends More...

A great little pocket-sized collection of Brittain's work- both poetry and prose and each piece supplied with footnotes to set them in their proper context. Like anyone else I have my favourites but each piece is beautifully written and will touch the soul of anyone who has suffered a loss in their life.

Poignant. Tragic. Truthful. A marvellous collection of poetry encapsulating the loss of loved ones in the Great War, by one of the best authors and indeed women of our time. Lest we forget.
