Joys and Sorrows: Fragments from the Post-War Years

In 'Joys and Sorrows' the author writes of her life in the immediate post-war years, with all its personal ups and downs. This book, like its predecessors, is a very personal book: its sharp insights and evocations bring into focus a private world in closeup. Friends, colleagues and families play their part, but it is Phyllis Willmott herself, sensitive, compulsively romantic yet serious minded, who keeps the reader in thrall. Admirers of her earlier books will relish this new one.
