 Nella Last in the 1950s: Further Diaries of Housewife, 49 History : Twentieth Century 

by Patricia and Robert Malcolmson

Paperback in Very Good condition with light wear.

Published by Profile Books - 2010. 320 pages + 8 pages of b&w photos.

This third volume of Nella Last's diaries sees her now in her sixties, writing of what ordinary people felt during the early 1950s in a modernising Britain. Her diary offers a fascinating, touching and humorous narrative of daily life at a time that shaped the society we live in today. It is an account that's full of surprises, as we learn more about her attitude towards changes in society, her fears of nuclear war, and her relationship with 'her husband' - she rarely used his name. Outwardly Nella's life was commonplace; but behind this there was a penetrating mind and a lively pen.
