 | | "Testament of Youth" is a wonderful book, one which you will read again and again, and all the more moving because it is a true story. | | | First published in 1933, Testament of Youth established Brittain as one of the best-loved authors of her time. | | | If you are wondering what happens to her, she wrote a "sequel" of sorts titled "Testament of Experience", which chronicles the years 1933-1950. |

| | She selects the latter and so her fate is determined: "Now this woman," warns the tale, "was the destiny of poor Catherine." And we find as we delve deeper into the book that she was the destiny of poor Vera too. | | | Brittain, a pacifist since her First World War experiences, prefaces the book with a fairy tale, in which Catherine, the heroine, encounters a fairy godmother and is given the choice of having either a happy youth or a happy old age. | | | I have just finished reading 'Testament of Youth' and thought you could hardly better the sense of experience, personal and national, that comes out of it. |

| | The Sun Also Rises is also a long prose narrative with a plot and characters, tells of the character's adventures in a remote setting, with some melodramatic events. | | | Taken in this context, one can see that both Testament of Youth and The Sun Also Rises fall under this category. | | | So, I guess in answer to my question, both books are romance novels, they are just different forms, but equally interesting and enjoyable. |

| | In addition to the God's Word Version of the New Testament, the Bibles feature comics that offer a biblical perspective on issues such as evolution, safe sex, peer pressure, homosexuality, abortion and other topics of concern to young people. | | | Tim Todd, designer-publisher of these special youth-targeted New Testament Bibles, says there is great hunger for God's word in public schools, and therefore great potential for impact among teens. | | | For instance, Todd tells of one young lady in South Texas, who gave her copy to a gang leader, who afterward gave his life to Christ and invited his entire gang to come to church with him. |

| | The fact that her story is true, and was so representative of her generation is what makes Testament of youth such a moving experience. | | | One of the best scenes is in episode four which Vera tells one of the sisters that the King had robbed her of loved ones for the good of the country, and if the King had told her this, she would throw something at him, and justifiably so. | | | Testament Of youth perfectly captures the period, and Geoffrey Burgon's score is utterly superb. |

| | Vera Brittain, Testament |
| | To me, for whom meals had hitherto appeared as though by clockwork and the routine of a house had seemed to be worked by some invisible mechanism, the complications of sheer existence were nothing short of a revelation. | | | Perhaps, too, the warm and profoundly surprising comfort that I derived from their presence produced a tenderness which was able to communicate back to them, in turn, something of their own rich consolation. | | | Despite my culinary shortcomings, the men appeared to like me; none of them were very ill, and no doubt my youth, my naive eagerness and the clean freshness of my new uniform meant more to them than any amount of common sense and efficiency. |

| | Vera Brittain: A Feminist Life by Elizabeth Podnieks |
| | In addition to Testament of Youth, novels such as The Dark Tide (1923) and Not without Honour (1924) uniquely survey the battlefield through a female lens. | | | Vera Brittain is perhaps best known as the author of Testament of Youth, an autobiographical account of her experiences as a Volunteer Aid Detachment (vad) nurse during the First World War. | | | Noting that Brittain's feminism is the 'connecting thread' of her biography, Gorham illuminates how Brittain translated her experiences as a vad into narratives that radically challenged the profusion of Great War literature appearing in the 1920s which offered only male perspectives. |
