Doreen’s Diary has now been published by Leek Wootton History Group, entitled, Doreen’s Diary: She Could Not Have Loved More.
Doreen Wright’s diary, written between May 1940 and December 1942, was discovered by her family after her death. As well as being a precious family heirloom, it is a unique historical record and is reproduced here in its entirety.
“This is a diary, sometimes wrenching, often compelling, in which a young woman struggles to hold on to her missing husband, to keep him alive in her mind, and to push aside the possibility that he might be dead.”
(Robert Malcolmson*, Queens University, Kingston, Ontario)
*Professor Malcolmson is an eminent Canadian historian who has devoted most of the last ten years to editing English diaries for publication
