Henrietta's war: News from the home front, 1939-1942 by Dennys, Joyce. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780233978291.

Spirited Henrietta wishes she was the kind of doctors wife who knew exactly how to deal with the daily upheavals of war. But then, everyone in her close-knit Devonshire village seems to find different ways to cope: theres the indomitable Lady B, who writes to Hitler every night to tell him precisely what she thinks of him; flighty Faith who is utterly preoccupied with flashing her shapely legs; and then theres Charles, Henriettas hard-working husband, who sleeps through a bomb landing in the neighbours garden. With life turned upside down, Henrietta chronicles the dramas, squabbles and friendships in a community of determined troupers.
