Synopsis
The diaries of Walter Musto were recently discovered by his great nephew in an attic. Reflected here is the opinionated, happy voice of a 60-year-old suburban businessman from Surrey who found himself living through the biggest upheaval of modern times. His logbook of political and personal musings offers a charming and colorful picture of life on the home front. When Walter began his diary on January 1st, 1939, he lived quietly with his ageing wife Alice and their even more elderly dog. As war broke out he took up service as an air-raid warden, and grew tomatoes for the war effort. From bird-watching on the Thames to delays at Waterloo due to unexploded bombs, Walter contrasts lyrically the opposing worlds of war and peace, of personal and collective loss.
