Description - Diary of a Wartime Affair: The True Story of a Surprisingly Modern Romance by Doreen Bates
London in 1934. Clever young civil servant Doreen Bates is working in the same office as E, an older married man. In the years just before the war, they develop an irresistible attraction to one another and strike up a passionate affair. Doreen records it all with startling candour in her diary - secret midnight walks, countryside escapades and stolen moments of intimacy. But Doreen starts to long for a child with E. Despite all the taboos of the time, and against the wishes of E, she is determined to be a mother - even though she knows that her decision will provoke anger and shame from her family, friends and colleagues. This is the story of a progressive but heartbreaking struggle in a society not yet ready to grant women their freedom.
