On the eve of the Great War, Millicent King begins keeping her journal, vividly recording the drama of everyday life. From bohemian London to Rome in the 1920s, through social work and the build-up to another war, in which she drives ambulances through the bombed streets of London, this is a story both fictional and true. Full of the texture of life, beautifully observed and evocative, it tells the story of an ordinary woman's life against the huge canvas of the last century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis series of war novels from Vintage Classics presents eight powerful stories about the horror and waste of war - each a passionate plea to prevent its repetition.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBorn in Carlisle, Margaret Forster was the author of many successful and acclaimed novels, including \u003ci\u003eHave the Men Had Enough?\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLady's Maid\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDiary of an Ordinary Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIs\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThere Anything You Want?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e, Keeping the World Away\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOver \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Unknown Bridesmaid\u003c\/i\u003e.
