London War Notes, 1939-1945 (1971) by Mollie Panter-Downes (Hardcover, 378 pages)
Mollie Panter-Downes lived in London from September 3, 1939 through May 12, 1945. She wrote columns about life in wartime London. Usually World War II non-fiction focuses on the War; this book of columns by Mollie Panter-Downes focused on the homefront, which I find interesting and wanted to know more about.
