Testament of friendship

Testament of friendship

1940 • 453 pages

In her famous volume of autobiography, *Testament of Youth*, now an acclaimed BBC/PBS television serial, Vera Brittain passionately recorded the agonizing years of the First World War, lamenting the destruction of a generation which for her included those she most dearly loved - her lover, her brother, her closest friends.

In *Testament of Friendship* she tells the story of the woman who helped her survive those tragic years - the writer Winifred Holtby. They met at Somerville College, Oxford, immediately after the war, and their friendship continued through Vera's marriage and their separate but parallel writing careers until Winifred's untimely death at the age of 37.

*Testament of Friendship*, first published in 1940, records a perfect friendship between two women of courage and determination, a friendship that transformed their own lives and illuminated the world in which they lived.

Winifred Holtby was a remarkable woman. In her short life she contributed greatly to the twin causes of pacifism and feminism. Her fame as a novelist reached its peak with the posthumous publication of *South Riding*.
