Virago Wave Me Goodbye Rhys Jean, Pym Barbara, Bainbridge Beryl

В сборник рассказов "Помаши мне на прощанье" вошли некоторые из лучших писательниц поколения. Война традиционно рассматривалась как мужское занятие, но эти истории показывают, что женщины воевали наравне с ними, хотя и совершенно на другом фронте • Здесь война - это не столько прогресс на передовой, сколько ежедневная борьба за сохранение домов, семей и взаимоотношений; за то, чтобы получать удовольствие от опасности и силу от совместного опыта. Эти истории о том, как они прощаются с мужьями, возлюбленными, братьями и сыновьями - и как спустя годы пытаются начать свою жизнь заново. Комичные, стоические, сострадательные, гневные и подрывные, эти индивидуальные голоса привносят человеческое измерение в важные события, которые отражались вокруг них, и каждый из них открывает окно в скрытый ландшафт войны
