Gloriously unself-conscious, like a diary emphatically not written for publication, Entertaining Eric recreates a world we have lost - of bath salts and lending libraries, red rubber hotties and black market perfume
Sunday Times
In Entertaining Eric, Maureen comes across as courageous, sensible, humorous, patriotic, often judgemental, one of that breed of women usually referred to as 'the backbone of England'
Telegraph
A fascinating, funny and touching account of one woman's war
Today
A wonderful, insightful illustration of the activities, thoughts and feelings of a young woman during the turbulent time of war.
Family History Monthly
Lively letters from Maureen, a Wren, to her RAF boyfriend kept their romance alive from 1941-45. Eric, who married her, was a lucky man.
Saga Magazine
Maureen is a candid, natural humorist: sometimes as good as Monica Dickens in her sharp observation
The Times
Gutsy, humorous and a tiny bit snobby, she's a brilliant correspondent and chronicler of the times.
Sainsbury's Magazine
