| Summary |
"At the outbreak of the First World War, a young Vera finds herself torn between her studies at Oxford, and the decision she will take to enrol as a volunteer nurse, caring for casualties from the Front. Little does she realise that the faces passing before her will include those closest to her. Devastating in its portrayal of the impact of war on a whole generation, Testament of Youth is a passionate, powerful and personal record of Vera Brittain's experiences during the First World War and serves as a moving memorial to a lost generation"--Container |
