Editorial Reviews
Review
"'I've met such interesting people, and always heard unbelievable stories about people's lives. If I could put all in written language and sequence, I could write books, I'm sure.' Nella Last, September 1946 'A fantastic story...This is not the war of the newsreels - it's about tiny domestic difficulties, lumpy custard.' Victoria Wood 'I relished it...her personality is so powerful...There are so many things to admire about her.' Margaret Forster 'A classic of wartime literature...highly engaging, very moving. All Home Front life is here, especially the kitchen sink.' Simon Garfield"
A. L. Kennedy
"Nella's Last Peace is extraordinary - tender, intimate, striking, heartbreaking and witty - it grants us the lovely and dignified privilege of knowing a stranger's heart."
Gilda O'Neill
"A touching and startlingly frank portrait of adapting to life in post-war Britain. Truly fascinating. I enjoyed it as much as Nella Last's War."
