Nella Last's War established a housewife and mother from
Barrow-in-Furness as one of the most powerful and moving voices of
the Second World War, and inspired the award-winning television
drama Housewife, 49. In this next instalment of her unique diaries,
Nella Last describes how ordinary people re-built their lives after
the war was over.
While the Allies' victory was a cause for hope and celebration,
much privation and anxiety remained. 'The only peace is that there
are no active hostilities, ' Nella wrote, 'but the corrosion of the
war years is eating deeper into civilisation.' In her sensitive and
playful account of daily life in the austerity years, written like
her diaries for the Mass Observation project, Nella Last captures
the thoughts and feelings of post-war Britain.
"'If the historians could see clearly enough, this could well be
called the age of frustration...after all, for ordinary people,
it's the little things that count, whether for good or ill.' Nella
Last"
