Description
Naomi Mitchison's diaries offer a unique perspective on life during World War II. Written with passion and intellectual curiosity, these personal records capture both the momentous events of the time and the everyday experiences of one extraordinary family and their friends. Born in Edinburgh, Mitchison spent most of the war in the fishing village of Carradale on Kintyre, where she recorded her thoughts and feelings in a diary kept at the request of Mass Observation. Her diaries provide a valuable document of the period, revealing how people lived, hoped, and reacted to the war. Through these personal records, Mitchison's life is revealed as crowded with incident, marked by forceful, original, and honest attitudes. This collection of her diaries offers a fascinating insight into one woman's experiences during this pivotal moment in history.
