5.0 out of 5 stars Margaret Forster is no ordinary woman, January 8, 2005
By 
This is a novel written in the form of an edited diary. It is a convincing, beautifully written account of the life of an ordinary Englishwoman from 1914 until 1995. You gradually build up a picture of Millicent's life in the diary which Forster writes with great clarity. It covers all majors events from the Great War onwards and it is a triumphant depiction of an independent 20th century woman, warts and all. I started this after reading Margaret Forster's biography of her grandmother and mother and I am full of admiration for her clear uncluttered style of writing and intend to read all the rest of her books now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, June 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I enjoyed this book quite a lot, however I was irritated when I discovered that it was a novel and not a real story. I admit that it clearly states "novel" on the front cover, albeit in very small print. I think it would have been just as interesing if it had been published without the deception.
