There’s a huge choice of excellent literature on this period of history. [[The Children's Book by A S Byatt]] beautifully conveys the pre-war era while the under-rated [[Half of the Human Race by Anthony Quinn]] also addresses the changes in the role of women in society. Both are excellent. And if we may be permitted to make a further, non-literary recommendation, then why not buy Gareth Malone’s Military Wives single to support those who are still dealing with the same issues that Nadine, Rose and Julia faced.

|comment= Dear Bookbag,
I read this book last year after a helpful shop assistant said it was the best book she had read in a long time so thought it was obviously the book for me! The book delivered everything I had hoped, intelligent writing, an emotional story, with a historical slant that give me an insight into the pains endured by those who bravely fought in the first world war.
Kind Regards
Zoe
