World War ll London Blitz Diaries

review 1: After you muck thru the beginning of it with all the self centeredness, it becomes much better. Yet you have to keep in mind, it's a diary, where a woman spills out all those feelings and frustrations she can share no where else. A personal peek inside her mind and of those days long gone with the frustrations of a time most of us can no longer understand. I liked that more than the historical aspect of the London bombings in 1940. Glad her granddaughter thought it fit to publish.
review 2: I actually purchased this e-book, thinking it would enhance my understanding of everyday life during the London Blitz. In many ways, it did. I do not regret having read it, right after finishing Connie Willis' "Blackout" and "All Clear". But--since this is a diary, there w... moreere a lot of comments that were personal in nature. I could have done without the nonstop bitching that Ruby did about her husband!Wow, I just discovered a feature here on GoodReads for this book that says 'read E-Book'. Right here, right now -- FREE! Who knew?! less
