Book description
clean solid copy. Wonderful book.
Why read it?
1 author picked A House in the Country as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a Persephone Books reissue, which was recommendation enough for me when I first ordered it.
That was before I began to write the family memoir series, and it worked as encouragement and inspiration. The story is all about women coping with the strains and challenges of World War II, using ingenuity and stoicism when everything changes so drastically.
It perfectly fits what I was then working on, and is a thoroughly enjoyable novel that should never have been forgotten. It has wit, insight, and romance.
From Rebecca's list on books about women, their letters, and World War II.
