Another great slice of 40s life - By: D. C. Gowans, 02 Oct 2008 
If you enjoyed the original 'Nella Last's War' then you will enjoy this second volume just the same. The end of hostilities doesn't mean the end of either Nella's writing, or her talent with words & observation. It also certainly does not mean the end of hardship & difficulty. I drove to Barrow on the strength of the first diary & was very fortunate to meet the present owners of Nella's old house - they actually bought it off the Last family forty years ago. Just sittingin her old living room, where all those words had poured onto the page, brought Nella & her time tangibly closer. I heartily recommend this book.
