From the period between 1940-1945, over 20,000 Londoners were killed and half a million lost their homes. Bryher, who lived through a good part of those years in London, has provided us with an indelible portrait of day-to-day life from a variety of voices and perspectives from its regular citizens, humanizing the political backdrop of war with their pluck, humor, endurance, and courage. Her two female protagonists who own and operate the local teashop, The Warming Pan, become the heroes of the novel as they work to provide food and hospitality to the embattled community. Certain to appeal to all fans of WWII fiction, \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable reminder of what it was like during that crucial time in Britain's and the world's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBryher, nee \u003cb\u003eWinifred Ellerman\u003c\/b\u003e, was an author, philanthropist, and activist who published several historical novels.
