A Daisy for Dorothy by Pat Read

A unique tribute to the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, this book traces the wartime experiences of George and Nan Scragg, a working-class couple from Staffordshire who wrote more than 2000 letters to each other while separated by the war. Their surviving letters and momentoes reveal not only a portrait of wartime Britain, but also give a portrait of their marriage and a way of life in Britain now irrevocably lost.
