I found my Nella Last books. Nella was an Englishwoman who wrote diaries and filled out questionnaires for Mass Observation during WW2 and continued for years afterwards. Somebody then compiled several books out of her 12 million words. A fascinating read written by a housewife and volunteer at the time.
