I am waiting for an opportunity to see the film version of A Testament of Youth. I haven't read any of Vera Brittain's work, but I will certainly look out for her books.

I read Testament of Youth years ago and it is a superb book. There are lines in it that I've re-read since many times because I think they're so moving. Did you see the recent film 'Testament of Youth' starring Kit Harington (of Game of Thrones fame)? I also (just about) remember the TV series in the late 1970s.
