Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>There's No Story There</i> is about the lives of conscripted workers at Statevale, an enormous rural munitions factory somewhere in England during the Second World War.</b> The workers are making shells and bombs, and no chances can be taken with so much high explosive around. Trolleys are pushed slowly, workers wear rubber-soled soft shoes, and put protective cream on their faces. Any kind of metal, moving fast, can cause a spark, and that would be fatal. All cigarettes and matches are handed in before the workers can enter the danger zone, and they wear asbestos suits.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>'Inez Holden is a great lost voice from the literature of the Second World War.</b> These pieces of fictionalised reportage place her on the same shelf of Forties-era writing as Julian Maclaren-Ross and Henry Green.' -- D J Taylor, author of <i>The Prose Factory</i>, and <i>Lost Girls. Love, War and Literature, 1939-1951</i>. '<i>There's No Story There</i> is a nuanced, understated and incisive portrait of wartime industry. It's a classic of observational writing and a vital debunking of "people's war" mythology.' -- Gill Plain, Professor of English Literature, University of St Andrews<br>
