Description

Love & War in London is rooted in the extraordinary milieu of wartime London.

Vibrant and engaging, Olivia Cockett's diary reveals her frustrations, fears, pleasures and self-doubts.

She recorded her mood swings and tried to understand them, and wrote of her lover (a married man) and the intense relationship they had.

As she and her friends and family in New Scotland Yard were swept up by the momentous events of another European war, she vividly reported on what she saw and heard in her daily life.

Hers is a diary that brings together the personal and the public.

It permits us to understand how one intelligent, imaginative woman struggled to make sense of her life, as the city in which she lived was drawn into the turmoil of a catastrophic war.
