Description
August 1939. As a teenage Catholic virgin, Joan Wyndham spent her days trying to remain pure and unsullied, and her nights trying to stay alive. In the midst of war and uncertainty, she found solace in writing.
Huddled in an air-raid shelter with strangers, including a young couple who had lost everything, Joan began to write secretly and obsessively about the strange yet exhilarating times she was living through. She saw this as 'the happiest time of my life', a feeling that would stay with her forever.
