About this listen

In January 1941 Griselda Green arrives at Blimpton, a place 'so far from anywhere as to be, for all practical purposes, nowhere'.

Monica Felton's 1945 novel gives a lively account of the experiences of a group of men and women working in a munitions factory during the Second World War. Wide-ranging in the themes it touches on, including class, sexism, socialism, fear of communism, workers' rights, anti-Semitism and xenophobia, the audiobook gives a vivid portrayal of factory life and details the challenges, triumphs and tragedies of a diverse list of characters.

Adding another crucial female voice to the Wartime Classics series, To All the Living provides a fascinating insight into a vital aspect of Britain's home front.

This book is quite brilliant. It nicely looks into WW2 factory life, with all in bureaucracy and human life without the usual “oh darling isn’t the war just wonderful” It feels real and the characters believable and it’s even better that it was written at the time. 10/10

Perfect insight into a WW2 factory without the usual flannel
