I've read a few good books about early American women who pioneered the settling of the land and am always amazed at the industriousness and resilience they portray. I've also been interested in the effects of WWII on the nations affected by it, during and after. I'm about to start one by Erna Paris called Long Shadows,which purports to address "how countries shape historical memory in the aftermath of calamity". This, through the use of story telling and sharp observation of events covering 4 continents. I think it sounds very promising. Will let you know.<BR/>Nancynancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587048072191384586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-82571199295071185442008-12-17T17:29:00.000+00:002008-12-17T17:29:00.000+00:00What a fascinating post, jennie, I think I'd enjoy...What a fascinating post, jennie, I think I'd enjoy that book.

I didn't find Nella Last's Peace so engrossing although it was interesting to read what happened to her after the War, would be interesting to read about the later 'you've never had it so good' years too, Nella wrote for Mass Observation until well into the 1960s so there's plenty more material available.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
