Nella Last wrote a diary for the Mass Observation Archive which was then published in 1981. Her diary details her day-to-day life during the second world war. As a group we loved the detail she gave of how she coped with rationing and bombing. We had a long discussion about whether she was depressed before the war and is this what "nerves" means in fiction of that era. Her changing relationshiop with her husband also intrigued us.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed this book.
