Restless Lives in the Second World War. Volunteering as ambulance drivers, fire-fighters and ARP wardens, they were the successors to the soldier poets of WWI and their story has never been told. A powerful wartime chronicle told through the eyes of five prominent writers: Elizabeth Bowen, Graham Greene, Hilde Spiel, Rose Macaulay, and Henry Yorke (writing as Henry Green).
Opening with a meticulous evocation of a single night in September 1940, the author brilliantly and beautifully interweaves letters, diaries and fiction with official civil defence records to chart the history of a burning world in wartime London and post-war Vienna and Berlin.
