Land Girls at the Old Rectory by Irene Grimwood

4.0

Charming novella-length reminiscence of the author's adventures in the Women's Land Army, primarily centring on her time at boarding house in Sussex. I suspect this was taken as an oral history when the author was quite old, and most of the page time goes to memorable incidents and fun stories (the young women were perpetually getting in scrapes trying to hitch hike to Ipswich), rather than an overview of daily life with a lot of technical detail.

This is, so far, the best WLA book I've read, because of how it captured the feeling of being very young and swept up in the moment, without needing to tell the reader that this was all extraordinary.
