Chronicle of Youth: The War Diary, 1913-1917 by Vera Brittain, Alan Bishop

3.0

3.5 rated down. Having read _Testament of Youth_ this was a bit redundant to me. However, it was interesting to read the day-to-day reality of an Edwardian, middle-class, young woman struggling to find a feminist identity. Even though the constant "Beloved" language when discussing Roland reminded me a teenager's diary, I was still nervous as I got closer to December 1915 knowing what was to come. I guess, unbeknownst to me, I got more sucked in the diary than I thought it would. I'm not sure this is a necessary read for anyone who has already read _Testament_, but the difference in her tone can be interesting to read.
