The Great Silence1918-1920: Living in the Shadow of the Great War\nAuthor(s): Juliet Nicolson\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: John Murray Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: John Murray Publishers Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780719562570, 978-0719562570\nSynopsis\nPeace at last, after Lloyd George declared it had been 'the war to end all wars', would surely bring relief and a renewed sense of optimism? But this assumption turned out to be deeply misplaced as people began to realise that the men they loved were never coming home. \n\nThe Great Silence is the story of the pause between 1918 and 1920. A two-minute silence to celebrate those who died was underpinned by a more enduring silence born out of national grief. Those who had danced through settled Edwardian times, now faced a changed world. Some struggled to come to terms with the last four years, while others were anxious to move towards a new future.\n\nChange came to women, who were given the vote only five years after Emily Davidson had throw.
