Patience Darton's unpublished letters and papers from 1930s Spain
and 1950s China are at the heart of this new biography by Angela
Jackson, together with testimony from recorded interviews and a
wealth of photographs that illustrate the life of this remarkable
woman. 'For us it was Heaven' tells the story of a young, upper
middle-class nurse in the 1930s who becomes dramatically caught up
in Spain's civil war and the passionate political issues of her
times, but whose intimate writings reveal emotions and attitudes
that will strike a chord with most self-aware and determined women
today. While Patience nursed near the front lines in Spain, she met
and fell in love with Robert, a German volunteer in the
International Brigades, deeply committed to fighting fascism. Their
passionate relationship coloured the rest of her long life, taking
her to communist China and then, finally, back to Spain. Published
in association with the Canada Blanch Centre for Contemporary
Spanish Studies.
