I'm reading Testament of Youth for the book club and this sentence really caused me to stop and think. The author has been a volunteer nurse through WW1 and has lost 4 significant people who were close to her, the first being her fiance. The war ends but she's not able to muster what it takes to really celebrate and looking back she writes:
"To-day, as we look back, 1919 seems a horrid year, dominated by a thoroughly nasty Peace."
