I love this, sharing as I do, your love for the literature of this time. Some of these I have read (many times in the instance of the Provincial Lady) but am delighted to now have a list of To Be Read, although I was trying to reduce that ever-growing pile and list!
Thank you so much, this is an amazing resource for me as I am working on a project researching a group of women who came of age in 1939. There are some favourites of mine on your list, including The Village, but lots of new names!
Such a excellent selection, some favourites and lots to discover - perfect! I loved Nicola Beauman's A Very Great Profession, bought when I was a student and much treasured.
Thank you for this fantastic list. I'm in love with the art and literature of this time, and really enjoyed reading your recommendations! With tea, but sadly no biscuits! :)
Oh my, such a lot to add to my tbr list, thanks! I recently heard Westwood on BBC 4Extra, without realising who the author was, and thoroughly enjoyed it. As a result of this list, I 've just borrowed Diary of a Provincial Lady as an audiobook via the Libby app, although at 22hrs, it's slightly daunting. I certainly don't remember it taking anywhere as long to read when I was a teenager.
What a wonderful list! There are some of my favourites there especially Westwood by Stella Gibbons. I also loved the two Carola Oman books on your tbr.
Thanks for this wonderful list. I have to read ‘The Dancing Bear: Berlin de Profundis’ as my mother lived in Berlin during the war as a young teenager and would never talk about it. So I’m going to honour her memory by reading this when I feel emotionally strong enough.

Thanks for this great list of writers to look out for!
