In her bestselling first volume of autobiography, Testament of
Youth, Vera Brittain passionately recorded the agonising years of
the First World War, lamenting the destruction of a generation
which for her included those she most dearly loved - her lover, her
brother, her closest friends. In Testament of Friendship Brittain
tells the story of the woman who helped her survive those tragic
years - the writer Winifred Holtby. They met at Somerville College,
Oxford, immediately after the war and their friendship continued
through Vera's marriage and their separate but parallel writing
careers until Winifred's untimely death at the age of
thirty-seven.When she died her fame as a writer was about to reach
its peak with the publication of her greatest novel, South Riding.
A moving record of a friendship between two women of courage,
determination and intelligence, and a wonderful portrait of a
lifelong love, Testament of Friendship now takes its rightful place
as a Virago Modern Classic, with a new introduction by Mark
Bostridge.
