'It was an exceptional time'
I loved this! Such an inspiring story. Edna was remarkable. And to have the chance to attend lectures by CS Lewis, how wonderful.
What a story! Wonderful Edna. And all that love & faith that her teachers put into her. Bless them all.
Absolutely loved this - didn't realise who it was aboout until the big reveal! Her family and teachers were extraordinary.
What a brilliant story, expertly told.
Thank you!
This is lovely, Sarah - you really give us a sense of the young Edna's determination and drive.
What a "stinker" Hobhouse must have been, I never made the connection to Healey until the end. She sounds like a wonderful girl and woman.
Agreed, I'd have said so myself but found out he was killed fighting in the war. Edna and her generation fascinate me and I'm going to write more about them in future. Thank you!
Oh good. I really enjoy your posts and am awaiting the book, which I have pre-ordered.
I’m not familiar with Edna Healy, but I loved the story anyway. Imagine being eighteen and never having been farther than two hours from home...
Or having hot and cold running water, nice food and a room of one's own...hey, someone should use that for a book title!
Thank you so much for this. What an inspiring and moving story!
Inspiring-- and very visual. I can see her life unfolding into bigger and bigger ponds, so to speak. Thanks!
