A beautiful gift edition of this classic memoir of the First World War. Will contain a foreword by Kate Mosse OBE.

In 1914 Vera Brittain was eighteen and, as war was declared, she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life - and the life of her whole generation - had changed in a way that was unimaginable in the tranquil pre-war era.

TESTAMENT OF YOUTH, one of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, is Brittain's account of how she survived the period; how she lost the man she loved; how she nursed the wounded and how she emerged into an altered world. A passionate record of a lost generation, it made Vera Brittain one of the best-loved writers of her time.

Vera Brittain

Vera Brittain (1893-1970) grew up in the north of England. At the end of the war she moved to Oxford where she met Winifred Holtby, author of South Riding.

Brittain was a convinced pacifist, a prolific speaker, lecturer, journalist and writer. She devoted much of her energy to the causes of peace and feminism.

She wrote 29 books in all: novels, poetry, biography and autobiography, and other non-fiction, but it was Testament of Youth which established her reputation and made her one of the best loved writers of her time.

It is my favourite book, which I first read many years ago, and when my granddaughter asked if she could borrow my copy I told her I would get her a copy for herself(being far too reluctant to lend her mine). I haven't seen her since giving her the book, so I don/t know her reaction to it. I loved learning about the first world War from a young woman's point of view, the aftermath, how it affected her life and decisions she made as a consequence. Beautifully written, absorbing and insightful.
