The Care and Management of Lies by Jacqueline Winspear

4.0

The story of Kezia, who trained as a teacher, but became a farmwife; her husband, Tom, who wound up volunteering for the Army in the Great War; and her friend, his sister, Tea, who started out as a pacifist and wound up as an ambulance driver in France. It is partly a lvoe story, through the description of dinners Kezia sent Tom in the mail to the front. Touching, powerful, but much more descriptive and less plot driven than her other books.

Learned more about the front in France in the Great War, village and farm life in England at the time, the feminist and pacifist movements, the strains and disloyalties and power struggles on the front.
