When her mum (Eve) died, Milla Reed found two tiny diaries tucked away among abandoned sewing projects. She wasn’t prepared for the stories they told.

Set in the Medway Towns, the diaries begin on Eve’s nineteenth birthday in January 1951. She was no ordinary young woman. Her humble working class roots didn’t stop her exploring all that life had to offer. You’ll discover a vibrant portrait of how Eve and her friends lived, worked, entertained themselves, and rebuilt their lives after the war. Woven throughout, you’ll find Eve’s emotional journey, including the heartbreak of losing her first love, Fred, her parents moving away, and then eventually finding happiness again.

Every event Eve mentions has been researched – theatres, The Festival of Britain, films and concerts – and historical notes have been added. You’ll find out what happened to Eve and Fred afterwards, too. Milla spent hours matching the events in the diaries to Eve’s old photo albums, so there are some marvellous pictures of the era and the people.
If you enjoy nostalgia or memorabilia, this is for you. It’s the perfect gift for the seniors in your life as well.

"A fascinating, fully-documented piece of social history, giving real insight into one young woman's experiences in a neglected period of time. The illustrations using family photos, diary snapshots and film posters add to the atmosphere recreated in this delightful memoir."
