| Synopsis: |
Margaret Forster presents the "edited" diary of a woman born in 1901, who died in 1995. From the age of thirteen, on the eve of the Great War. Millicent King keeps a journal and vividly records the dramas of everyday life in an ordinary family touched by war and tragedy. Her struggles through the upheavals of a woman's life in the twentieth century, from bohemian London to Rome in the Twenties, and from two world was to Greenham Common and beyond, is a triumph of survival. In this brilliantly conceived journal, an "ordinary" woman lives through extraordinary times in an extraordinary century. |
