| Summary |
Christina Keith came from the small town of Thurso on the far north coast of Scotland. Highly intelligent and ambitious, she became a lecturer in Classics at a time when that was still a brave and unusual choice for a woman. Towards the end of World War I she left behind the sheltered world of academia to live and work among soldiers of all social backgrounds as a lecturer with the army’s education scheme in France. She writes with warmth and humor of her experiences. When she and a companion travel across the devastated battlefields just a short time after the guns have fallen silent, her descriptions are both evocative and moving. Christina’s memoir offers a truly fresh perspective on life with the army in northern France. |
