The Promise of Welfare in the Postwar British Novel offers a new literary history of the Second World War and its aftermath by focusing on wartime visions of rebuilding Britain. Studying works by Elizabeth Bowen, Muriel Spark, Samuel Selvon, Alan Hollinghurst, Michael Ondaatje, and Kazuo Ishiguro, it shows how contemporary fiction reflected the transition from a warfare state to a welfare state, and preserved its transformative potential while redefiningits possible futures. With this long view of postwar fiction, this volume demonstrates the holding power of welfare's promises of repair and Britain's mid-century on the British cultural imagination.

The Promise of Welfare in the Postwar British Novel offers a new literary history of the Second World War and its aftermath by focusing on wartime visions of rebuilding Britain. Shifting attention from the "People's War" to the "People's Peace," this book shows that literature returns to the historic transition from warfare to welfare to narrate its transformative social potential and darker failures. The welfare state envisioned that managing individuals' private lives would result in a more coherent and equitable community, a promise encapsulated in the 1942 Beveridge Report's promise of care from the "cradle to the grave." The postwar novel reveals the intimate effects that follow when infrastructures of collective living seek to organize social interaction, tracing these effects through quasi-administrated home spaces such as girls' hostels, makeshift sanatoria, and experimental schools. Mid-century writers including Elizabeth Bowen, Muriel Spark, and Samuel Selvon used the militarized Home Front to present postwar Britain as a zone of lost privacy and new collective logics. As the century progressed, and as the unrealized dreams of welfare came to be dismantled, authors including Alan Hollinghurst, Michael Ondaatje, and Kazuo Ishiguro registered an unfulfilled nostalgia for a Britain that never was, situating British domestic policies within trajectories of historic and social violence. Contemporary fiction continues to reanimate the transition from a warfare state to a welfare state, preserving its transformative potential while redefining its possible futures. With this long view of postwar fiction, this volume demonstrates the holding power of welfare's promises of repair and Britain's mid-century on the British cultural imagination.

A dashing pilot. A young nurse. And a wartime love story left unwritten. It’s the winter of 1943, and nineteen-year-old Helen Moore spends her days at the bedsides of the broken boys who are fighting gallantly to protect the land and people they love. Amid the tears and sorrow, the hope and dreams of a better future, fate intervenes—and a chance meeting with a handsome pilot changes the course of Helen’s life forever. For eight decades, she’s held on to the last promise he made to her: that someday they would be reunited. Despite a lifetime searching for him, that promise has been left unfulfilled. Now, at ninety-eight years old, she knows that time is running out. Will she ever find the man who captured her soul so long ago? * Robyn Wright may have found the happiness she’s been seeking on beautiful Thistle Island, but that doesn’t mean life is free of complications. Between trying to make peace with her father’s May-December romance, dealing with an ex who isn’t content with simply fading into the background, and helping Helen track down the love she lost so many years ago, she has plenty to keep her busy. Which may not be a bad thing. Because every time gruff, unapproachable widower Levi Graham comes around, she could use a good distraction. Sink your toes into the golden-sand beaches of Thistle Island, where strangers are friends, sunshine is plentiful, and the ocean is always just a few steps away. This feel-good small-town women’s fiction series is perfect for readers of all ages. Author's note: This is a continuing series that follows the lives of the residents of Thistle Island throughout multiple books that are best read in order.

FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER AWARD A magisterial and acclaimed history of post-war Europe, from Germany to Poland, from Western Europe to Eastern Europe, selected as one of New York Times Ten Best Books of the Year Europe in 1945 was drained. Much of the continent was devastated by war, mass slaughter, bombing and chaos. Large areas of Eastern Europe were falling under Soviet control, exchanging one despotism for another. Today, the Soviet Union is no more and the democracies of the European Union reach as far as the borders of Russia itself. Postwar tells the rich and complex story of how we got from there to here, demystifying Europe's recent history and identity, of what the continent is and has been. ‘It is hard to imagine how a better - and more readable - history of the emergence of today's Europe from the ashes of 1945 could ever be written...All in all, a real masterpiece’ Ian Kershaw, author of Hitler
