Diaries Of Nella Last
This is a collected edition of bestselling author Nella Lasts diaries including substantial never-before published material from the war years. I can never understand how the scribbles of such an ordinary person...can possibly have value. So wrote Nella Last in her diary on 2 September 1949. More than sixty years on tens of thousands of people have read and enjoyed three volumes of her vivid and moving diaries written during the Second World War an its aftermath as part of the Mass Observation project - and the basis for BAFTA-winning drama Housewife 49 starring Victoria Wood. The Diaries of Nella Last" brings together into a single volume the best of Nellas prolific outpourings including a great deal of new unpublished material from the war years. Capturing the everyday trials and
horrors of wartime Britain and the nations transition into peacetime and beyond Nellas touching and often humorous narrative provides an invaluable historical portrait of what daily life was like for ordinary people in the 1940s and 1950s. Outwardly Nellas life was commonplace; but behind this mask were a penetrating mind and a lively pen. As David Kynaston said on Radio 4 she will come to be seen as one of the major twentieth century English diarists."
