The Women of the Real Downton Abbey

review 1: Un romanzo storico che, attraverso le vicende personali di Almina, racconta la generazione che ha vissuto la Grande Guerra, segnando il passaggio della vecchia Inghilterra dall'età Vittoriana al regno di Elisabetta II. Le parti più interessantisono gli avvenimenti della Prima Guerra Mondiale. Tanti piccoli dettagli che fanno capire quanto devastante sia stato quel conflitto, per tutti.Consigliato a chi vuole conoscere la vera storia della protagonista di Downton Abbey.
review 2: I wasn't able to focus on this one very well. It seems to be a sort of mash up of history, narrative, and something else. Mostly it is anecdotal, as if someone cobbled together some tea conversations into a book; only problem is, in order to really get the feel for the thing, you had ... moreto be there when it happened to really appreciate it now.I ended up skimming and scanning. The photo sections held my attention. Maybe I was in a visual mood rather than a written word mood at the time. less
