Nella Last in the 1950s: The Further Diaries of Housewife, 49
Nella Last may be the most prolific writer you've never heard of. . . . A moving account of daily life in England after World War II."—The Washington Post"A vivid and characteristically distinctive account of those uncertain years poised between austerity and affluence. It confirms Nella Last's status as one of the major twentieth-century English diarists." -David Kynaston"It’s wonderful to be back in Nella’s world again. Such emotional candour, so many entertaining little personal battles. Unquestionably one of the great British diaries of the mid-20th century." -Simon Garfield
