Review

"Maureen is a candid, natural humorist: sometimes as good as Monica Dickens in her sharp observation" (The Times)

"Gloriously unself-conscious, like a diary emphatically not written for publication, Entertaining Eric recreates a world we have lost - of bath salts and lending libraries, red rubber hotties and black market perfume" (Sunday Times)

"In Entertaining Eric, Maureen comes across as courageous, sensible, humorous, patriotic, often judgemental, one of that breed of women usually referred to as 'the backbone of England'" (Telegraph)

"A fascinating, funny and touching account of one woman's war" (Today)

"Gutsy, humorous and a tiny bit snobby, she's a brilliant correspondent and chronicler of the times." (Sainsbury's Magazine)

From the Publisher

The charming wartime love story of Maureen, a Wren, and her boyfriend Eric, told through her letters to him as he fought abroad during World War II
