The letters between Vera Brittain, author of Testament of Youth, and Winifred Holtby, author of South Riding. A fascinating story of friends who intended - and did - make their mark as writers and campaigners.
'Expertly and sensitively edited... a true partnership of two women valiantly, imperfectly, trying to find new ways to live' Samantha Ellis, Guardian
From the time when they met at Somerville College, Oxford, until Winifred's early death at the age of thirty-seven, their letters, written from 1920 to 1935, encouraged and advised and kept them 'continuously together' even through periods as literary rivals when they had to negotiate envy and self-doubt.
'The relationship at their centre is endlessly intriguing... touching and inspiring' Rachel Cooke, Observer
Vera decisively influenced Winifred's passion for feminism and peace and Winifred gave Vera crucial support, fiercely believing in her literary gifts.
'A beautiful collection' Daisy Dunn, Sunday Times
A portrait of the inter-war years and a dramatic, touching and ultimately tragic story.
