Description

Born in 1917, Dame Vera Lynn was 92 when she realized that her great age gave a better perspective (she wrote her first autobiography in her fifties) and she had to ‘get everything down on paper in a final account’. Here then is the life of ‘an ordinary girl from an ordinary family with a voice that you could recognize’ – but also an embodiment of British spirit during the Second World War.

**Discover the Inspiring Life of a National Treasure: Dame Vera Lynn's *Some Sunny Day*** Step back in time and into the heart of Britain during its most challenging era with *Some Sunny Day*, the deeply personal and insightful autobiography of Dame Vera Lynn. More than just a memoir, this book offers a unique window into the life of a woman whose voice and spirit became synonymous with hope, resilience, and unwavering patriotism during World War II. Published in 2010 when Dame Vera was a remarkable 92 years old, *Some Sunny Day* provides a mature and reflective perspective on a life lived fully and impactfully. Unlike her earlier autobiography penned in her fifties, this "final account," as Dame Vera calls it, is imbued with the wisdom and clarity that comes with age. She felt the pressing need to capture her complete story, ensuring that future generations could understand the woman behind the iconic voice. Delve into the humble beginnings of "an ordinary girl from an ordinary family" and witness her extraordinary journey to becoming a national icon. *Some Sunny Day* unveils the real Vera Lynn, beyond the glamorous stage persona and patriotic symbolism.
