Testament of Youth: Thirteenth Post (Final Thoughts)
This book is just amazing. Brittain conveys so much loss and pain as she talks about the war and nursing and those she lost, but she also shows how she was able to live again and find love again. She never forgets or lets the lessons fade, but she is able to go on. It’s an amazing testament to the human spirit. I’m just so in awe of her and so happy that she did create such a successful writing career for herself (obviously - I’m here reading her work more than seventy years later) and a family. It’s amazing.
