If we're going to do this, if we're going to "make do," and "do more with less," then we are going to need better inspiration than the guides they handed out the first time round.

The Heat of the Day is one of my favorite works about WWII in Britain. The austerity is there, but that's not the main attraction of the novel. It is a mystery, and I would say it concerns itself with something akin to E.M. Forster's dictum that he would rather betray his country than his friend.

I've read both of Nella Last's books, the one about the war and the one about the immediate post-war years. There are many books like it, but she was an especially gifted writer and observer. She took part in a national diary keeping record of the war from many citizens' perspectives. But will they help me weather our own current austerity problems?
