Description

Camilla Lacely's diary offers a witty and charming account of life as a vicar's wife in a small town outside Manchester during World War II. Her 'everything and nothing' days are filled with controversy, servant problems, anxieties about her son training with his regiment, and the day-to-day worries of friends. A potential romance also emerges, but is there more than one? Winifred Peck's novel, Bewildering Cares, is a humorous and touching exploration of domestic life, community, faith, and love during wartime. The book includes an introduction by social historian Elizabeth Crawford, adding context to the author's portrayal of life in 1940s England. With its sharp observations and ironies, Bewildering Cares is reminiscent of authors like E.M. Delafield and Angela Thirkell. This new edition features a unique take on the challenges and heartbreaks of domestic life during wartime. Published in 2016, this paperback edition includes 206 pages and offers a fresh perspective on life in England during World War II.
