And now My Dear I Wanted To Tell You, her fourth novel for adults, is set amid the desperation of the first world war. Well, what did happen to the traditionally brought-up women who lost all hope of marriage, because all the young men are dead? ‘My Dear I Wanted to Tell You’ is a big First World War novel, moving between Ypres, Amiens, London, Paris, Lancashire and Kent to tell of the experiences of women left at home as much as those of men in the trenches. My dear I wanted to tell you is a novel by Lousia Young about young up-and-coming officer Riley Purefoy, the girl he loves, his CO, the girl he loves, and his cousin, whom nobody loves. Having been spoiled by Good-bye To All That and All Quiet on the Western Front so far, I was a bit suspicious of this book when I first started reading it.
