For more than half a century, an uncelebrated but brilliant writer called Jean Lucey Pratt recorded, in her diaries and her contributions to the Mass Observation project, the life of a thoroughly modern woman coming to terms with a rapidly changing world. An independent thinker, voracious reader, inveterate smoker and devoted cat owner, she chronicles her struggles with work - from architectural student to bookshop owner - male friends, girlfriends and a variety of eccentric lodgers. We observe her anxieties and triumphs, and through her eyes we obtain a moving and entertaining insight into British life during the Second World War and its aftermath.
