A simultaneously spirited & brutalising account of the First World War, as told from the perspective of a female ambulance driver. Originally commissioned to parody Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front (1928), the author instead wrote a serious, harrowing novel in part based on the (now lost) diaries of Winifred Young, who served in France during the war as an ambulance driver.
First edition; 8vo; contemporary ownership inscription to front free endpaper; original pink cloth blocked in red, dust-jacket, slight toning to spine and some very modest rubbing to extremities, overall an excellent example.
