Henrietta's War - Softcover

Spirited Henrietta wishes she was the kind of doctor's wife who knew exactly how to deal with the daily upheavals of war. But then, everyone in her close-knit Devonshire village seems to find different ways to cope: there's the indomitable Lady B, who writes to Hitler every night to tell him precisely what she thinks of him; flighty Faith who is utterly preoccupied with flashing her shapely legs; and then there's Charles, Henrietta's hard-working husband, who sleeps through a bomb landing in the neighbour's garden. With life turned upside down, Henrietta chronicles the dramas, squabbles and friendships in a community of determined troupers.
