Description

Monica Dickens's autobiographical novel, One Pair of Feet, is a witty and brilliantly observed account of her experiences as a wartime nurse. Stripped of her illusions upon enrolment, she must navigate the challenges of her role, including the iron rule of the Matron and the menial work that comes with it.

Despite the difficulties, Monica finds solace in her friendships with colleagues and patients, as well as her secret writing project. This engaging and humorous novel offers a unique insight into the life of a young woman during World War II, and the ways in which she copes with the hardships of war.

If you enjoyed this novel, you may also like Monica Dickens's other work, My Turn to Make the Tea, which is also published as a Virago Modern Classic.
