In January 1941 Griselda Green arrives at Blimpton, a place 'so far from anywhere as to be, for all practical…
purposes, nowhere.'Monica Felton's 1945 novel gives a lively account of the experiences of a group of men and women working in a munitions factory during the Second World War. Wide-ranging in the themes it touches on, including class, sexism, socialism, fear of communism, workers' rights, anti-semitism, and xenophobia, the novel gives a vivid portrayal of factory life and details the challenges, triumphs and tragedies of a diverse list of characters. Adding another crucial female voice to the Wartime Classics series, To All the Living provides a fascinating insight into a vital aspect of Britain's home front. Praise for Imperial War Museum Wartime Classics: 'If poetry was the supreme literary form of the First World War then, as if in riposte, in the Second World War, the English novel came of age. This wonderful series is an exemplary reminder of that fact. Great novels were written about the Second World War and we should not forget them.' WILLIAM BOYD'It's wonderful to see these books given a new lease of life [...] classic novels from the Second World War written by those who were there, experienced the fear, anguish, pain and excitement first-hand and whose writings really do shine an incredibly vivid light onto what it was like to live and fight through that terrible conflict.' JAMES HOLLAND, Historian, author and TV presenter'The Imperial War Museum has performed a valuable public service by reissuing these absolutely superb novels.' ANDREW ROBERTS, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny(P)2021 Headline Publishing Group Limited
