This book is about the life of the paper mill owner's daughter who was struggling to emancipate herself with those of the young student from Oxford and with the suffering that she finds at the forefront during the war. Her passion for study and literature seems frivolous and she dreams of a better time in which she could be naïve.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Vera Brittain </b>is a controversial writer, pacifist, and feminist best known as the author of <i>Testament of Youth</i>.
