Daily Express: "One of the most absorbingly interesting books of recent times."
A delightful volume
By LADY CATHERINE MILNES GASKELL
A Woman's Soul
By the Author of "Friends Round the Wrekin," "A Shropshire Lass and Lad," etc.
In demy, cloth, 16s. net.
Under a thin guise of fiction Lady Catherine Milnes Gaskell has written a most sympathetic and entertaining account of her experiences during the war, and those of her friends and neighbours. Like many other ladies of position she threw herself heart and soul into the every-day drudgery of hospital work and the numerous duties of those who undertook the responsibilities of large country estates in the absence of their owners; and she gives us in a most delightful story a very true insight into the activities, thoughts and feelings of a class which did a great deal of war work, and said very little about it.
Her previous books have already established her as a close observer of human nature and a writer with a wide, tolerant outlook and a style of unusual distinction.
