Description

Christina Keith came from the small town of Thurso on the far north coast of Scotland.

Highly intelligent and ambitious, she became a lecturer in Classics at a time when that was still a brave and unusual choice for a woman.

Towards the end of the First World War she left behind the sheltered world of academia to live and work among soldiers of all social backgrounds as a lecturer with the Army’s education scheme in France.

She writes with warmth and humour of her experiences.

When she and a companion travel across the devastated battlefields, just a short time after the guns have fallen silent, her descriptions are both evocative and moving.

This unique memoir is an unforgettable read.
