The Great Silence: Britain from the Shadow of the First World War to the Dawn of the Jazz Age

Author: Juliet Nicolson
Stars: 1
Review by: Mandy Apgar
Reading the dust jacket, the book seemed like it would be a lot more interesting. Instead what it turned out to be is a series of accounts of persons dealing with grief after losing loved ones during WWI. A serious, noteworthy subject of course, but with time after time of X person did this or Y person was never the same it got to be rather depressing instead of a more scholarly account of the transition to the jazz age like the book implied.
