This fascinating anthology tracks the 20th century through diaries, journals and letters, though mainly diaries... it opens up secret peep-holes on to some of the key events of the century, and allows us to see them from unexpected angles
Craig Brown, The Mail on Sunday
a blast... a worthwhile wander through great events and small ones, and especially into great minds having small moments
Libby Purves, The Times Literary Supplement
A wonderfully curated collection of intimate diary voices: rich in their variousness, compelling in their impact, and cumulatively giving us a fresh and thought-provoking version of twentieth-century Britain.
