Angel In God's Office - My Wartime Diaries - Neva Clarke McKenna

Until recently, Neva Clarke McKenna was too embarrassed and afraid to tell the story of her experiences as a clerical secretary in Italy during the 2nd world war. Now, her participation in the award-winning film war stories has given her the courage to write her own personal account, revealing herself as the person she was in her wartime diaries.This is the experience of one ordinary NZ girl and how the war changed her life forever as she worked close to the NZ men in Italy, close to the killing, the wounding and the surviving. Angel in gods office could be the story of many women, women who were once young girls whose lives crumbled with disillusionment, whose choices were stolen from them by the fact of war, yet who picked up the pieces and got on with life because there was no alternative. Nevas experiences, however were unique and she writes of them with appealing naturalness, honesty, humour and warmth.
