Reseña del libro "Letters from the Little Blue Room: An Intimate Portrait of World War I (en Inglés)"

A'lost' women's classic from World War I. A Scottish woman sends funny, moving, compassionate and rousingletters to her younger brother, set to fight with the Canadian ExpeditionaryForce in the trenches of WWI.Dunfermline, her hometown and the base for the Scottish regimentThe Black Watch, morphs into an active home front. Letter by letter we watchthe war unfolding. Her brother trains with his cavalry regiment on England'sSalisbury Plain and moves to frontline duty in France. Shocked by the war andthose who inflame it, the sister's letters are frank and also encouraging.Others are vanishing. She needs her brother, her young Canadian, to survive. "DaisyThomson Gigg creates a voice as alive and open, fresh and engaged as when shesat at the little round table, beneath the red-shaded lamp more than a centuryago, writing to her Boy, determined to keep his spirits up and remind him ofhome. Her Scottish identity resonates in every sentence, her politicalidealism, compassion and love shine out even on her darkest days. Hersrepresents a new and unique voice and an important addition to the canon ofliterature of the First World War." - Angela K. Smith, author of Women'sWriting of the First World War
