The Uncertain Years by Beryl Matthews
As World War I breaks out, four friends consider the changes that war will mean. Tomboyish Becky plans to join the ATS, her neighbours Bob and Jim the navy and army respectively. Only Becky's brother Will is left out of the excitement; because of a slight physical disability, he is forced to stay behind. As the friends are separated, their youthful enthusiasm is tempered by the grim newspaper headlines and their own experiences, and they will feel both joy and pain before the war is over.Beryl Matthews is a British actress who was born in London and now lives in Hampshire. She was raised in a household of voracious readers, and books have always played an significant role in her life. Her dream as a child was to be a professional singer, but a lack of cash forced her to work at an office, where she rose through the ranks from tea girl to credit controller. Writing, reading, swimming, and golf are some of her favorite pastimes.
