NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

A British woman recalls her coming of age during World War I in this unforgettable true story of youthful love, war, and understanding the darkest times.

'One of the most powerful and widely read war memoirs of all time' - Guardian

'A haunting elegy for a lost generation' - The Times

'Should be compulsory reading' - Daily Mail

In 1914, when war was declared, Vera Brittain was twenty years old, preparing to study at Oxford University. Four years later, her life—and the life of her entire generation—had changed in unimaginable ways.

TESTAMENT OF YOUTH, one of the most famous autobiographical works of World War I, is Brittain's account of how she survived those harrowing years, how she lost the man she loved, how she cared for the wounded, and how she emerged into a changing world.

A passionate record of a lost generation, it established Vera Brittain as one of the most beloved writers of her time and has lost none of its power to shock, move, and enthrall readers since its first publication in 1933.

With an afterword by Kate Mosse OBE.
