Description
A Chelsea Concerto by Frances Faviell is a powerful and poignant memoir of life in London during World War II. In 1940 and 1941, the author, a Red Cross volunteer, witnessed and was involved in many harrowing events as Chelsea was heavily bombed. The book evokes an unforgettable cast of characters, including refugees and ordinary Londoners, who were caught up together in extraordinary danger. A blend of humour, tenderness and horror makes for a compelling read. The memoir's most haunting ending is particularly noteworthy. Reprinted now for the first time since 1959, this edition includes a new introduction by Virginia Nicholson.
