A review by ellie_cripps
Testament of Youth by Vera Brittain

5.0

This book was a real labour of love for me, partly, yes, because parts were tougher going than others, but mostly because Vera Brittain writes incredibly naturally and confidently about a truly challenging subject. That is the case not only because it is her life, but also because she has a level of perspective that is unreachable by anyone but survivors of her exact generation.
Profoundly moving and openly challenging of limits placed on anyone.
