Love & War in London is rooted in the extraordinary milieu of
wartime London. Vibrant and engaging, Olivia Cockett's diary
reveals her frustrations, fears, pleasures and self-doubts. She
recorded her mood swings and tried to understand them, and wrote of
her lover (a married man) and the intense relationship they had. As
she and her friends and family in New Scotland Yard were swept up
by the momentous events of another European war, she vividly
reported on what she saw and heard in her daily life. Hers is a
diary that brings together the personal and the public. It permits
us to understand how one intelligent, imaginative woman struggled
to make sense of her life, as the city in which she lived was drawn
into the turmoil of a catastrophic war.
