Testament of Youth – win tickets to the GrownUps preview

Joybel - 10 years ago

I read Vera B’s book so many decades ago and had buried it deep in my soul. I vowed to never glorify war as a brilliant victory to Britain or any other country. I switched off from all the commemorations I have to endure each year as millions are spent on annual ” remember our glorious dead,”

I can barely remember much of it yet In my heart and soul I felt a terrible sadness and tears were very near. I wonder how she would feel if she knew her book was being filmed. No doubt it will have been sanatised. Will I view it, I don’t know? Read the book.
