Henrietta's war: News from the home front 1939-1942

About this book

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.
