Passionate, fascinating, profoundly sympathetic
Artemis Cooper, Evening Standard
A deeply moving account of female courage both at home and overseas during the six brutal years of war...the joy of Virginia Nicholson's book is the way she has plaited scores of individual stories into a richly textured account of the many forms that female courage can take. This story belongs to us all
Kathryn Hughes, The Mail On Sunday
An acclaimed account of this period... a rich seam of social history
Cassandra Jardine, Daily Telegraph
Ambitious, humane and absorbing
Anne Chisholm, Spectator
Where Nicholson scores over other histories and memoirs is that her vivid narrative is set firmly in the context of the social conventions of the time...this lovely book is poignant, hilarious and inspiring
Edwina Currie, The Times
