About the Author:
At the end of June 1944 Squadron Leader Eric Wells returned to England on a posting to the Air Ministry. On 8 July, he and Maureen were married. After the war Eric and Maureen emigrated to Australia and settled in Melbourne. They had a son, three daughters, and three grandchildren. In 2000, deeply grateful for his interesting and very happy life and 56 years of marriage with Maureen, Eric died, aged 85, after a short illness. He is greatly missed by Maureen, who continues to live in Australia.
Review:
"Maureen is a candid, natural humorist: sometimes as good as Monica Dickens in her sharp observation" * The Times * "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 * "Gutsy, humorous and a tiny bit snobby, she's a brilliant correspondent and chronicler of the times." * Sainsbury's Magazine *
