Product Description
Testament of Youth
Author: Vera Brittain
Format: Paperback
What you have striven for will not end in nothing, all that you have done and been will not be wasted, for it will be a part of me as long as I live, and I shall remember, always.
In 1914 Vera Brittain was twenty, and as war was declared she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life – and the lives of a whole generation – had been unimaginably changed.
One of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, this is her account of how she survived the period; how she lost the man she loved; how she nursed the wounded; and how she emerged into an altered world to become one of the best-loved writers of her time.
