Description
BBC life during the Blitz is portrayed in a humorous and touching tale by Booker Prize-winning author Penelope Fitzgerald. The story takes place in the early years of World War II, when the Concert Hall was converted into a dormitory for both sexes and the building became a target for enemy bombers. The BBC, like other institutions, faced challenges and losses, but the Nine O'Clock News continued to be delivered with impeccable accents to the waiting nation. The human voices of the novel are those of the BBC during this period, capturing the essence of life behind the scenes. The story is an authentic portrayal of the time, with its own set of struggles and sacrifices. Fitzgerald's writing brings to life the atmosphere of the era, making for a compelling and engaging read. This novel is a unique and fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, told with Fitzgerald's characteristic wit and sensitivity.
