About this listen

Best-selling author D. E. Stevenson’s charming fictional alter ego, Hester Christie - or 'Mrs Tim', as she is affectionately known to friends of her military husband - was first introduced in Mrs Tim of the Regiment, published in 1932.

In 1941, Stevenson brought Mrs Tim back in this delightful sequel, to lift spirits and boost morale in the early days of World War II. With her husband stationed in France, Hester finds plenty to keep her busy on the home front.

Certainly not gripping high literature, but a faithful and comforting depiction of life on the home front during WWII. Written with the express purpose of boosting morale, this book was widely read in its time—and it’s easy to see why. The plot is slow and at times stagnant , but the details of daily life, quiet endurance, and small joys shine through. If you’re curious about how ordinary people kept going—what they read, feared, hoped for or even had for tea, this offers a sincere window into that world.

A quiet depiction of life at the Home Front
